It's definitely a 2 to start, and the last figure is either 0 or 8, but the rest is a lost cause. Given the number of 220s elsewhere it would be easy to form a dangerous assumption, and only a micrometer or sticking another known 220 in that location and measuring would give the answer.

Right, now to get the bloody thing back together!
I use a micrometer to measure all my shims! I never trust what is printed on the top
