Try Adrian?

Just thinking, you could get some shim steel /brass off ebay, various thickness, and make some. Sure someone will be know what sizes to get.

Thanks Alan, I'll try Adrian - the thought of me trying to make anything fills me with dread But, that said, he who dares & all that

The thicknesses are important are't they? If the rust on the old ones is just on the surface why not re-use them? They do show when everything is bolted up.

Hi All
Shims will depend on what the readings are when its all back, just have to strip it all down to add shims.

So...are these shims to do with the geometry set up??? All getting a bit technical now ...

If so, I can use the old ones just to get things back together & then get new ones for the final set up??

Yes they alter the geometry.

Keep the shims for each side together so not mixed or lost.

Clean using a wire brush and scrape the paint off the mating arm faces.

Put it all together and allow your set up specialist do the rest. (he should be able to make shims)

Cool...thanks for the help...off to find my wire brush

Polly bushes arrive this week so I can finally star putting things back together, still a long way to go & lots more questions I suspect

Cheers
