snap rings and aluminum stock have been ordered. im going to go visit the machine shop tomorrow to give them money and finalize the details. ive been given an eta of 1.5-2 weeks. i should have the spacers done within that time frame so im hoping to ship around the end of the month. thanks for the quick payment everyone.

If the bearing is a slip fit in the bore it will pound the snap ring out, especially if you are making power and running slicks. This assumes you install the shoulder in the braking force direction (to the rear). Installing the other way would be even worse. It would be to difficult to machine a snap ring groove in such a way as to reduce slop to 0. Especially when the aouras seem to be at least +/- 0.002".
Do you want some 7075 spacers?

no no, just from the outside edge to the snap ring would have been nice to be a hair over a press fit. The fit where the bearing sits was perfect. The hardest part was getting the bearing into the sleeve straight. Once I had the 2nd one half way in I realized I should have installed the sphericals with the sleeves out of the car.

i made an install tool for the bearing that can be whored around for those that are interested. just pay shipping to the next guy. or ship your bearings to me and ill press them in for you.
