To all,
Yes, we have them in .005", .015", & .032". Got them for Patton and had
to
buy them in 100 lots. They are called "shortening shims". We use a similar
shim for shock valving so I already deal with the company. (.005 & .015
were some of the OE sizes. .032 was next size up from the manufacturer.)
