thanks for any help.

Dave,
To be honest I don't know, but 1mm/0.040" sounds excessive & not something I would go ahead & use.
I would of thought it should of been +/- 0.005"

How are you measuring this? i.e torque converter bolted to flexplate or mounting converter in a rotating fixture (such as a lathe)?

Dave i spoke with your man, i should stick it in, just imagine the amount off converters bolted up to dodgy flex and the centre boss a poor fit throwing the snout out miles within the pump, i cant imagine anyone bolting all that lot up then putting a dial indicator on the pump snout to check the run out, your man only noticed it with fixing it in a lathe to cut the feet or something,
i would think most have a fair bit of run out, not correct i know but seem to get away with it,
