Got the 0.5mm shim there behind the brass collar and tightened the securing nut using my 10mm spanner whilst holding the flywheel - seemed pretty tight. Took it off again and re-tightened it just to make sure.

Perhaps after some runs when everything else in the clutch settles in, you need to put more shims inside. This is what I found on mine.
Exactly what I was thinking - a couple of good runs should sort it out



Good luck with those. That would take some time to get it perfect too.
I'm hoping with having the Sanwa servos it may go a bit easier - lets see
