Head shims

I'm sure it was on here, but could be wrong (might have been FB or OZ forum or the OC forum) but anyway, was reading a thread somewhere the other day and someone posted up a link about a company that can supply valve shims for the R...........ring any bells anyone ?

Steve

6mm (iirc) Punch + feeler gauge = pittence, measure twice punch once

I dont think it was on here steve as dont remember the thread ...

i remember that one was on here. can't remember where though

http://www.precisionshims.com.au/

Slot shims $14$AUS
Plain shims $9$AUS

Postage $66AUS tracked or $25AUS untracked

Prices as of may.

It's about £140 for a full set delivered.

feeler gauges and a hole punch works (have that in my head), but it is a bit gash

6mm hole punch is a bit much due to the bevel at the bottom of the caps, 5.5mm would be better, I had to file the edges off all 16 shims with a 6mm punch.

Would of thought you could find someone in uk do these, although shipping would not be too much on item such as this.

I bought one of these and a set of feeler gauges. Doesn't help if you need a thinner shim.
Been in for a couple of years now. Punch the bits out and tapped them in with an old valve stem. (Never worked out how to get them out again tho...)

Don't remember it costing this much at the time..
