So I made two shims from brass stock. The first went between the handwheel base and the dial. This moved the dial closer to the bearing journal to help close the gap. The second shim went between the bearing rider and the bearing. This is actually the surface which holds everything in place.

These shims in place, the movement of the handwheel was reduced to about three thousandths.

Does the logic of this fix make sense? Do you think the brass shims will fail too quickly?
