Hi Tony,
It's a little bit more but not much.

I would check the CWP clearances now, its highly probable that you will have altered the relationship between the two by straightening the torque tube. At the very least I would anticipate needing to adjust the sideways relationship of the crown wheel, but that done you will without doubt have a happier axle.
Hi Ian,
I agree with you and accept that I could reset the clearances but that's not an easy job with these shimmed axles and, as the CWP is in poor(ish) shape, I'm expecting to replace the axle with a 30-31 type fairly soon after putting it on the road. As the car will be a driver, I'm happy to keep the original axle in a shed for a future owner and build myself a good 5.25 for road use.
