    Have you inventoried your shims?

    Until you know what you have, you will not know what you need.

    When you have a list of your shims, take the smallest one and move it around (but use a "place-holder") to see if that one has enough clearance.

    One other choice is to order one shim that is several sizes smaller than your smallest shim, move that one around to measure all the extra clearance and determine what shims you need.

    This would be a good time to invite you to look at the offer in my sig.

        What Steve says, otherwise you will end up buying a bunch that you may not need. Use something as a place holder in a thinner shim location and try it in a thicker location. Ie: 2.55 into 2.60 and 2.65. Many use dollar sized coins or quarters as place holders. Ray
