How much end float would you expect on an SD1 rear axle at the road wheel?

Being a single bearing, I'd expect some. But can't find a spec in the BL manual.

If the SD1 rear axle is similar to the Salisbury I use in my MGB which has one shaft bearing pressed onto the shaft and clamped in the end of the casing I would not expect anymore than 10-15 thou of end float as I would consider that bearing worn to excess !
