Hi KC
.004 is not very much. If the mounting pedestals are marked and measured with a mike or vernier callipers for thickness it should not be difficult to reduce one .003 progressively reducing for those each side. Could press with thumb on a very fine flat file and/or sharpen an old file to a smooth dead square end for use as a scraper. Check with blue. Seating must not rock. Hopefully will all be OK on first assembly.
If the cw runs out radially a bit more tricky.
CW mounting bolts need to be consistently tightened.
And Roger, what is the lathe with the double raised v bed please? Hopefully not a diabolical Indian peasant made file finished Metro as mine.
