I haven't used those bushings yet! Will be in the near future. The eccentric
washers are (were) available in three different thicknesses. For fine tuning
you can add some regular shims between the eccentrics and the busing inner
sleeves. I forgot what inner diameter is needed. McMaster Carr will have hat
you need even in stainless.

Have any off you installed these before?  I'm specifically interested in how
you got the  spacing sorted between the inner sleeve and eccentrics.
The RS appears to be just fine with the factory 5.5mm eccentrics, but the LS
has both 5.5 and 5.0mm versions, and the gap between the inner sleeve and
bushing is like 6mm.  I could grind a few mms off of the inner sleeve or buy
4mm eccentrics, though I'm a little leery of permanently altering part of a
$260 item.  I'm just not sure the new eccentrics will make up the gap.
Thoughts?
