[Healeys] Making wheel bearing shims

[John Spaur]

I was fixated on the BJ8 kit where you get 12 shims for what 3 would cost for a BT7.

I figured the edges get squeezed flat so it doesn't matter. Seemed to work in the bad old days when we couldn't get new.

John,

Is Moss just out of stock?  They're shown on their web page, item 121, 
part numbers 263-1[4567]5.

I'd also be interested in hearing about any experiences making shims - 
especially how they kept the edges flat.

Cheers,
