Exactly! I measured the "magic number" back at the start and came up with some .470 aluminum plate.

As for the pilot shaft. I considered this: Drill out the crank using the current pilot bearing as a guide. Get it nice and centered using the pilot bearing, and then, pull the old bearing out, enlarge the hole slightly, replace the pilot bearing with a new one, and then get the tranny colinear using the new bearing as a guide (along with the dial indicators). Nothing is settled yet.
