Nacho I remember way back when you did that (bent it to get minimal gap change). I always wondered how the decreasing magnetic field cuz of the increased gap would affect triggering (timing). & the gap is the closest with no vacuum & the can vastly increases the gap. EDIT I reread your post & you might put a THIN washer under the top plate before you set the plate & pin into the bottom plate so the triangle clip will hold it tighter and if you still have some play you might slightly push the magnet closer to the tooth to take up some of that play then set the gap to .008" or simpler yet just increase the gap a few thousands to avoid the sloppy induced contact. when you see how far the gap increases from the can you'll know a few extra thou wont make a difference in starting. best would be to tighten up the pin fit.
