The adaptor does not want to be loose....make it a just-right fit.

Don't think I'd be sanding a precision drive shaft over reaming an alloy bush. I'd be pulling the bush out and either reaming it or machining it in a lathe. You could also make a new bush if you have a lathe...

From my experience, the Falcon spinner I had fitted the Advance perfectly.

Cheers,
Jason.
