Coupling assy

Interesting to hear about the shims. It is confirmation that there could be some variables.

My mounts are the repros from Mac's. It is hard to judge their over all height and hardness in relation to the original ones as those were well crushed and after 70 years the rubber was more akin to petrified wood. But in general the Mac's repros are fairly accurate.

The frame and floor do not show any serious signs of distortion...pretty sure I can rule that out.

I'm going to give the shims a try in order to get the same clearance top and bottom on the coupling. I'll update this thread with the end results. I'm also going to try and find that video on the carrier. It was almost 25 years since I watched it, and there may have been some information there. I just hope it wasn't in Beta (thinking back I'm pretty sure it wasn't)...I didn't keep one of those machines. No doubt there are shops that will have them and will transfer for a fee.
