I don't think a couple of thou makes any difference in centralising the crank...

On another note I went into the garage the other day and there was a strong smell of petrol... I sniffed around both bikes and it was stronger near the monster... on close inspection it was the fuel line from the tank to the tap, which I had replaced with some tube off Ebay. It had gone soft an porous. Looking back through my purchases and saw I have bought from two different suppliers... One looks to be OK, and the other is DEFINITLY not petrol proof, even though it said it was... I have just replaced it.

this is what I hate about Ebay... two more examples, I bought 10 Sanvick hacksaw blades... they were rubbish, and clearly fake.

what has really annoyed me though is I ordered some 3M wrap for the faded "C" pillars on our Mercedes SLK... I paid well over the odds for what I thought was genuine 3M only to find it has warped and bubbled after a few months. I took a spare piece into a place that does car wrapping and he took one look and said "fake" and showed me some genuine stuff, which was substantially different. you never know with stuff off there!
