>I have seen scrap cases in junkyards both with and without the thick
spacer/shim/thrust-bearing. I read somewhere, wish I could find it, that it
was a correction for a machining oopsie at the factory. Guess the idea was
to machine it down further and put in a standard shim or spacer. The cases
I saw were from all vintages and types, so I don't think anyone's been
singled out. I could see where this could get knocked loose and lost and if
you didn't know about it, you could really get puzzled trying to get endplay
established. Not sure how the thing was fastened in, staking maybe?
The one I had was loose, just like the usual thin ones.
