It does not matter if you set 0.7 mm or 0.4 mm. Just shim the end play as per step 8.7 and you will be fine.

0.4 mm gives very smooth engagement while 0.7 mm will give you very agressive clutch engagement. You may want to tighten the clutch pre-tension nut a little if you use 0.4 mm in order not to bog down the engine with too fast clutch engagement. Take your pick.

I didn't have a spare and bought a mugen bearing at the track. It looks the same
They are the same bearing size. As long as you can get any 5x10x4 thrust bearing, they should be fine.
