Anyone here using these parts together? I have just received my set and I was quit disappointed to find that there is too much play between the pinion and ring gear. Tried to shim the diff towards the pinion (left/right shimming) but then the bulkhead cant be closed properly. This is because the diff sits perfectly w/o any side play in the bulkhead. but when you look at the ring gear and pinion mesh, there is too much gap. Is this normal?

Or you might end up like this...
BTW: You gotta play with the shims to get it just right.. Took me a little bit the second time around but it worked out great. Pm me if you need any help..
