Ian,
    What clearance is recommended between input shaft,
 thrust brg and Jerry Bass's innovative "Hat"?

   Best Regards

I have about .008" clearance on mine.  It sound like all Ross gearboxes are
different.

   Paul,Mark,Jerry,Ian,
      With the differences that seem to be between all
Ross 2.85 redrives(I have two)Mark needs to make an
addendum to the "Best Practices Link" that each 2.85
thrust brg. "Hat" will have to machined to fit that
individual drive. The position of the sun gear in
relation to the planetary housing + thrust brg.thickness+
desired brg. clearance determines depth of the "Hat".
