.015" of end play is good. If you have too much more than that, add a drive plate spacer. Too little can bind when the engine gets hot.

I've got 8 thou, I thought it looked like more. One more question, My Cox glo clip is a bit out of shape for my 010. What is the best thing to use, and can I make something?

Try crocodile clips

Sometimes known as aligator clips. They come in a variety of sizes.

I'm sure your Cox clip is fine, even if it's a little mangled take a pair of pliers and straighten it.

If you look below at pic 1 you'll see how it sits

And

At pic 2 look just by the pen nib you'll see another tiny cut away where the 010 pole clips
at lot of peole don't know it's there.
Very Happy

I should add I never knew about the second clip cut away until v recently and it makes a huge difference.

On a slightly different (but the same) subject.....

Guess who went to Maplin's this Morning.......?

Ian's right they'd be fab as well, this is their smallest and cost 79p but you'd need the next size up for the
negative lead to clip on the cylinder.
