Re: Excessive crank end float.
Just a little input on this very interesting problem Mart.
I like the idea of building up the thrust surface of the bearing to restore the proper thrust, but I would do it a little differently. With your skills and tools you should have no problem using solder to attach a brass shim to the thrust surface, and machine as necessary. Tin the brass shim prior to soldering.
I personally feel the end result will guarantee a more durable fix.
