slack tollerance of new springs and pins

[Alan]

Side float- I always shim to take up the clearance. I fit the shims between the top hat bush and the springs, this can be a bit fiddly and I’m sure it would be ok to put them in the gap if you wanted.
The other problem - I’d live with it
Sealed bearings- I’d use them but I wouldn’t replace a bearing that was otherwise ok.

See you Monday
