When you make the spacer the two working faces where the bearings fit need to be exactly parallel.
If you make a spacer say. 030" longer and then use pairs of shims to pull the pinion out when setting up you can subtract the difference and then machine the spacer to the exact length.
This will obviate any need for shims and with a drop of your preferred sealant in the radius of the nose of the torque tube, the job's a good' un.
