The job would have been easier If I had had some more thicknesses to choose from.
The outside diameter of the shims are close to 7/16.
The shim punch will punch up to .010" of hardened shim stock and I got new as a "Buy It Now" on Ebay $50.
Also another fuel injection company Diesel KiKi makes thin shims for their copies of Bosch injectors that also fit Bosch. Since it was 25 years ago I have no idea what they would cost now.
I added this pic. There is a metal bolck with holes under the orange paper tag.

Interesting kit!--But sounds like a lot of work!
Does this also cut the hole in the shim centre...?
Hole needs to be there to allow the 'leak-off' to escape...
Unless you have summit like this or a complete shim-kit its not even worth owning a 'pop-tester' apart form to confirm whether an injector is good or not. Trying to shim-up without the full range is pointless and Very frustrating without-Ask me how I know!
