Phil Eslin <pbeslins@msn.com> says they start out with one or two
thou end play, gets more as the plate wears the bottom of the
bore.  Mine is about a sixteenth, or 60 thou, and as I've said I'm
having trouble getting the idle setting down to spec. :-(

Phil does rebuilds on these to a higher standard than the original --
remachine bore, new s/s shaft, new throttle plate, sealed bearings,
doesn't depend on the plate to control end play.  I haven't asked him
about price yet -- I expect it's fairly substantial; but the end
product should work flawlessly for a long long time..
