Hi siiren and others,
There are pics in the gallery of my modified Marga Molino and later today I will post the roller gap settings that I have mine set to.
With the Marga it is important that the gap on the top two rollers is wider than the gap between the bottom or outlet.
The pic above of the crush looks pretty good to me and I judge my crush results by grabbing a handfull of grain and picking out one grain that looks to be intact and touching it and the husk should readily fall open to reveal the white malt inside. With most grains the husk is broken to reveal the malt.
Crush plays a big part in mash efficiency and if you are consistently getting 70% plus then your crush should be OK.
Here is a pic of me drilling the index plate on my mill.
Sorry no pic now original pic was too big. I will try to get it smaller and repost it.
Cheers
