I have quite a few of them - what thickness do you want and how many?

Cheers

Bought some a while back from here http://www.john-gordon.co.uk/.
I think there are 2 sorts of shimm, the ones that go between diff and brake disk and the ones that go between disk and drive shaft. The first are used to centre the disk in the caliper opening and the second to alter the wheel camber. Cheers Steve.

Cut up a beer can with some scissors. Make sure you drill the holes before the cutting, or a lethal sharp thing will fly about at the end of your drill (don't ask me how I know this....)
