Hello!

I'm finishing up my L2 build that has an Aero Pack tailcone retainer with the AT 54/1280 casing. When the tailcone is screwed on tight there is ~0.5mm gap between the aft closure and the tailcone. The casing has slight movement back and forth. Has anyone ran into this issue before? Should I grind down the spacer ring that comes with the retainer to fill that gap? or should I leave it alone? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
