[Spridgets] Tapered roller bearings

[Glen Byrns]

If you check the K&S metals rack at the local hardware or hobby shop, you'll 
usually find a small plastic pack of "shim"material".  Various thicknesses 
of brass about 4"x6".  Easy to use scissors to cut out shim washers of 
whatever thickness you want to try.
