I took a bell off of an inline 230 and found a thin metal shim on one of the bolt holes. I’d say it was as thin as a piece of paper. I imagine they must have had a way to quickly check the bell and then pull any that didn’t meet spec off the production line or the line would come to halt pretty quickly.
