Where did you get it from? I can only find big boxes of it that are £35+

I believe you need to work with Platigauge that will measure the small gap involved.
Yes its expensive I can't remember where I bought mine but I did buy the wrong size first time as I bought on the colour code rather than the range.
I will send you a PM shortly.

Look on ebay or amazon for a small box of various thickness Plastigauge. That's what I bought for mine. It had small quantities of Red, Green and White if I remember correctly.

Here you go, this is where I bought mine. Very quick delivery as well.

Thats the size I originally used. Ted recommended going smaller to 0.025 to 0.076 mm. Which only seem to be sold in bigger quantities or are from the US. Luckily Ted had some spare which he kindly sold to me.
Working through measuring them now, got 3/4 of the way and my electric ratched went flat. I don't fancy fully tightening and undoing 10 bolts over a dozen times each :D

Bearing clearance update 2.
From the generator side first:
brown 0.025mm green 0.038mm green 0.025mm green 0.050mm green 0.050mm
brown 0.025mm
I put the brown in one of the green that measured at 0.050mm and it went down to 0.025mm. I'll remeasure the one that gave a reading of 0.038mm.
I think the best thing to do would be to go BROWN GREEN GREEN BROWN BROWN.
Then as other people have said, run it in carefully.
