Dave, a note of caution, When you shift the bearing position rearwards as you have with washers it puts a lot more load on the carrier in back of crank and tends to 'walk out' of the crank in use. Better way is to fabricate a carrier that is supported by the ID of the flywheel as well as the crank spigot bore to keep the loads in the correct plane.

Hi Jac, yes that's a good point. The end of the gbox input shaft is flush with the end of the crank, so there will always be a moment acting on the interference surfaces. I brought the carrier 1mm forward in the crank, and the bearing 2mm forward in the carrier, so I don't think I over-egged it.
An easy change would be to make a ring, sized to drive into the gap between the carrier and flywheel, and to tack it onto the carrier.

Dave, give me a call before you reassemble gearbox onto the car, Frank
