Just a few things to check down the road:
1. When you put the chaincase cover on make sure that nothing is in contact with that. I had an over deep pattern shock absorber nut which ground a nice circle in my chaincase. You might have a similar issue if the shock absorber is too far out. Equally it could all be ok if the underlying issue was the shock absorber. Just with checking
2. Is the spacer hardened? Trevor made an excellent point somewhere in a similar post, which is to use an old bearing inner cut and ground to the required width, that’s just easier than hardening and tempering mild steel. I think the spacer for the shock absorber should be hardened, but Ian would be better to advise on that.
In an ideal world I'd recommend the spacer was hardened as they do wear, particularly so if the engine shock absorber isn't working correctly...Mark Cook makes the 'std.' thickness spacer to that specification...
If hardening facilities aren't available a material such as EN19 would make for a reasonably durable component..In other words avoid basic mild steels such as EN1A....Ian
Thanks again for all helpful replies. I definitely will check chain case clearance when I get the cush spring installed. Not sure if the shim was hardened. He used some shim stock that he had. He’s out of town this weekend but I’ll check with him when he returns. Thanks again.

Definately more cost effective considering the cost of cutting the splines and grinding the inner race region
However unless you want to ship them asa set , which wastes materials it will need to be well documented on the PES web page so purchasers can order the correct one .
As a person educated in the engineering sciences and a true conservationalist I hate wasting materials .
