Alternative Supplier for 4AGE 20V valve shims...

[jondee86]

Just while I think of it... does anyone have the dimensions of a 20V valve
shim, or have a shim lying round that they could measure ? Googling has
not produced anything helpful, and I would like to know...

1. Outside diameter
2. Inside diameter
3. Overall height

There is a company in Australia that makes shims, but they only seem to
list the shims by dimensions, not by application. And I'd like to see if the
shims they list are the correct size for the 20V.

Cheers... jondee86

The consensus is that the shims measure 5mmID x 8mmOD x approx 4.4mm
overall height (varies with shim thickness). Precision shims make these from
1.00mm to 5.0mm thick in increments of 0.02mm with most sizes available
off the shelf.

The price is AU$9.00 each (approx US$8.35 or Euro6.05)

For the 16v, the 25mm shims are fairly available.

Anyway, thanks jondee86, I didn't know Precision shims but they makes 8mm shims, which are fairly hard to find (I just wonder how much they ask for them)
