Also, a regular feeler gauge may not work great. Sonex supplies a long 0.010" thick strip that goes well past the ends of all the magnet stuff. When you put the magnetron on, the magnet should not be underneath it so you can easily push it away from the flywheel. Snug down the screws. The long strip sticks to the magnet, and you rotate the magnet under the magnetron. Loosen the screws and the magnetic attraction will pull everything together - magnet, shim, and magnetron. Tighten the screws for keeps and turn the engine so you can grab the strip.
