Kevin, GT 500 with gap on lower cam

[jw2bugle]

I have a GT 500 and I could see a gap between my brown bushing on the lower cam and the limb. I used a set a feeler gauges and have about .008" - .010" gap there depending on where I measure it from. Not sure if it could be the brown or black bushing that may be out of specs. What should I do? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Measure the spacers, make sure the cams are straight(no limb twist) and order a spacer that is .010 thicker than the one on the string side.

I thought the same on one of my GT500, until I took out the spacer, and found a indentation made by the axle, obvious the hole in the spacer wasn't lined up with axle hole, when the cam and axle was first fitted, or tried to be fitted. which makes me wonder, if the assembler uses a hammer to fit the axles.

if the assembler uses a hammer to fit the axles.

i would imagine, the dipping more than likely gets into the axle holes, and reaming or drill cleaning would limit production. I would prefer a (soft tap)hammer than someone with a dremel boring out paint and possibly ovaling the hole.

Thanks Kevin! I assume that means the brown spacer.
