    So conclusion is that the old WBs/races are slightly narrower than the new ones- by about 0.1 mm.
    The remaining play in the hub I assume is in the swivel bearings.

    So I need to get some new half shaft shims to put it back to spec.
    I assume it is not good to drive the car with either zero or about 1mm of endfloat ( I can achieve either of those numbers with available shims) as spec is 0.08-0.25mm.
    I need to drive the car 60km to get some work done on it before I can get some end float shims. Is this ok or might it damage CV? The end float is about 1mm too much.

    Not going to commit to an answer other than to say that if the car were mine I'd risk it...

    I did a work-around to be safe.
    Took the 0.5mm shim out.
    Ground about 0.2mm off the 1.5mm one.
    To give me about 0.2mm end float.

    Keep a close eye on that hub mate
    In all my time playing with landy hubs / wheel bearings (and there has been a lot)

    There has never been any appreciable or measurable difference in bearing/race tolerances across what would now be 36 years.
    The reality is bearings are made to ridiculous tolerances and match dimensions very very closely.
    A new set being 0.1mm (that is a metric **** tonne in machining) different to old set of the same part number is essentially impossible...

    Now stub axle wear, inner hub wear that is always on the cards!

    Hmm ok - will do.
    But even measuring the wall height of the races - they seemed to be slightly different. The new ones taller.
    But that doesnt mean the bearing location is likewise different I guess.
    Will monitor closely thanks.
