TR4/4A How much play acceptable for input shaft bushing?

I'm curious as to how much play should the input shaft pilot bushing have when fitted onto the end of the transmission mainshaft? While pressing the bushing to one side and using a wire feeler gauge the gap side is about .030..I know it has to have a little wiggle room but is that too much? ....The bushing itself, when pressed into the center of the flywheel has practically no wiggle so that's a good thing me thinks..
No big deal getting a new one as they are cheap enough but I'm ready to connect the dots putting the whole drivetrain back together and if that clearance is ok, I can keep rolling without being slowed up by a little round thing with a hole in it..

Thirty thou seems a bit excessive to me although it might make the tarnny a lot easier to fit. I've always put in a new bushing, soaked in oil of course, with the clutch. As I recall, the bushing spins on the end of the shaft quite easily but without wiggle. I've never tried a feller gauge though. Tom
