Spindle/Axle Boss clearance

[Winfab]

Just put the front end together on my T tonight. It has '49-'54 Chevy spindles and a tube axle. I had .006" to .008" clearance between the spindles and axle boss, checking with feeler guages, after the assembly was together. What do specs call for? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. Really wasn't looking forward to taking it back apart to try to shim it, but if I had to......
