BB: Had hoped to get away with not using any modified parts. I think I will have to try this though. The Vorza crown gear has a raised area (under the internal bevel gear)that looks thicker than the washer that is on the Flux crown gear. So it seems that decreasing the width of the cup might be better for the internal mesh as well. I tried to simulate that by leaving out the diff gasket and testing the internal mesh, seemed fine.

As per my dodgy digital verniers
Width of Flux cup - 20.95mm (from bearing mount point to where the crown\gasket contacts)
Width of Vorza cup - 21.82mm

Shims are 0.2mm each so i need to remove about 0.4mm from the Vorza cup. This will make it ~21.4mm which is similar to the Flux cup plus the two other shims.

I do recall needing only 1 shim for a snug fit in the bulks, but gear mesh was spot on. Perhaps the Vorza cup you have is slightly out of tolerance. Did you measure any others?
