Tight tolerance on about an inch of the shaft. Got it sorted thanks to Alan (flyalan). He gave me a tip. He told me to take 800 Grit sandpaper and some oil and sand the spot. I ended up chucking the shaft in a drill to speed things up. Used 1500 grit last to polish it up. Took about ten minutes with the drill.
Thanks Alan. My weekend maiden is still on schedule!!
