I'm not just picturing things in my head, I'm actually saying what happens in most cases because I had to unfuck many guns. Under the bevel it's either a very thin shim, of no shim at all. There is no guide for this, it's all based upon the parts at hand, the gear type, bushing type, mechbox type, etc. Everything has to be custom setup based upon what the system is. No guide will give you everything you need simply due to the fact every manufacturer has different tolerances.

Ack I misunderstood your original post. I thought you were referring to what crunch had said before about leaving the bevel gear free to wobble up and down, because the pinion gear pushes up his bevel gear.
But yeah, again, my misunderstanding, and yes, to the OP, the lower down the bevel is the better, under the condition that it doesn't rub against anything.
