Differential Set-up

I have just received delivery of a new crown-wheel and pinion, inc brgs etc.
I have set up many worn diffs in the past, but never had to set up the pinion depth.
I see from the manual that special tools dummy pinion shaft and measuring tool depth gauge are used to set up the pinion. As I don't have these, it seems I will have to use trial and error and marking blue to get the pinion shims right.
Any ideas ? What the normal range of shims ?

Migt be worth giving Jon (Miller) or Paul (Cobban) a call.

I got an information sheet from Burtons with the CW&P, the tooth contact markings are the final arbiter.

Any chance of posting it?
Here it is. There are 7 pages on this in the workshop manual, but the end contact check is what counts.
IMHO the most tedious part is establishing the correct pinion shims
