I measured the axle flange end play at ~ 0.011" on my 8.5" 10 bolt with Moser 31spline axles and Detroit TruTrac.. then I removed the posi's "center spacer" that prevents the axles from traveling inwards and allowing the c-clips from popping out. Measured this spacer's width and made a new, wider one, that brought the axle flange end play down to ~0.001". Figured it would be good to allow some running clearance for heat expansion and to avoid bearing preload. I have yet to drive it but I have 7/8" manual master and 4piston fixed Dynalites in the back, hoping to test out within the next couple weeks. Not sure if this is helpful for you Torino-bearing'd guys but simply an idea.
