ok as for the loose butterflies i bought a shaft and
butterflies from R&D and there were loose also the one
on the cam side was .006 and the one on the tps side
was .010 or at least that is the size of shimstock i
had to use to get them tight . Went a little deep on
the countersink did ya . the screws bottom out on the
shaft not the butterflies . So i just reversed
enginered and made some blueprints as long as i had
some extra time CMM got to love AutoCad .
