Well after a couple of chats with Mike H, it would seem it does need some adjustment, as he has just had a similar problem.
As the shims behind my side gears are already only 0.030" (0.75mm) thick, I don't fancy skimming them down by the 0.010" (0.25mm) needed.
I could make a 0.010" shim to space the two halves of the carrier apart which would sort one side, but I do need to machine out the main part of the carrier, so I might as well machine them both.
A bit scary, but it should work.
Wish me luck boys, I'm going in!!
PS Thanks for the help Mike
