Does anyone have a good recommendation on how to mod a kickside to have a fixed gap?

Probably cut some of the plastic off of around the inside of the bearing seat. Or just get shims so that you can get it tightened to a consistent place each time.

The cheapest and best way is to just tighten it all the way every time. Thats it. No cost or modding needed.
