You are right, it's the drivers side. I guess I forgot what side of the car I sit on :-)
The problem is that there isn't a good way to fit the feeler gauge in there. Tony said to do it "by feel" and that it wasn't rocket science. But as someone who has never adjusted a supercharger, I don't have a feel for it. So I came up with a means of feeling it out quantitatively. Specifically:
First, I backed off the set screw. I was very methodical and counted the number of turns. It took 1.5 turns till there was a large enough gap between the blade actuator bracket and the set screw. At this point, the blade is stopped in the bore but the bracket is not resting against the set screw. Then, I used my feeler gauge set to measure the gap between the end if the set screw and the actuator bracket. This was 0.011".
Now, when I install the new bracket, all I need to do I get the set screw close to the blade bracket. I will do this by making the 0.11" feeler gauge snug in the gap. Then, I'll remove the gauge and give it 1.5 turns which will make the set screw contact the bracket and subsequently push the lever to slightly back the blade out of the bore to the location it was adjusted to from the factory.
This methodology might make more sense for the instructions since its not possible to complete step 11 with the feeler gauge.
Tony even mentioned that the picture in step 11 might be from a different car. But I'm convinced there is no way to do it by the book. I suppose you could do what I suggested above (screwdriver with feeler gauge) bit i think that will be tough to feel out accurately.
