If the thrower was fully effective the lip seal would fail - it needs some lubrication to survive. However we all know how effective the thrower really is! So Ruairidh is on the right track I think.
Gosh I wish I had your problems Steve. I suppose you could use shims but it doesn't strike me as ideal. I'd at least use one thick one rather than two thin ones. Can you not belt the dimples in the thrower a bit deeper? Or perhaps look at other throwers - I have had them with slightly different dimensions / thickness over the years, though it's possible they may all come from the same source now. At some point it will occur to you to Loctite the rear bearing on instead - but don't.
