I`ve removed 0.5mm on both sides, and the diff is a very tight fit in the bulks.. No slop at all sideways.. Almost needs alittle force to close the bulks together.
I have to remove alot of material of the bulks, in the pinion/screw area, and therefor i did "soften the corners" around the diff screw arrea some, so i didnt have to make huge holes for them in the bulks....

I dont think i`ve removed more from the screw area on the diffs, than you did MC (ref. youre pics).

Lincpimp: Im think you got a good point :( I did not shim this. The drive cup lays into the inner ring of the bearing, and MIGHT be alittle tight.. The pinion axle isnt flat where the grub screw sits, it has a bump for it to sit. And i think the grub screw didnt line up 100% on this, and forced the cup harder against the pinion bearing...

I got a new diff on the way, and alot of shims, so i`ll try to shim everything perfect this time.. Both spyder gears, pinion mesh, and all the cups.
And ill flatten the grub screw area on the pinion axle this time.

I`m just learning the hard way i guess ;)
