om603 Injector Shim dimensions - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I haven't taken mine apart yet but am looking to get some additional sizes from mcmastercarr.

It appears the shim kit I already have (not from mcmaster) have 11.3mm OD and the ID is 5.5mm

Mcmaster has some stainless shims with 10mm OD and 5mm ID. I assume these will work fine?

I am curious what the stock OD/ID is.

There might be a thread somewhere with that info. However, less people have been interested in rebuilding their own injectors compared to the past. You might just have to take the injector a part and measure.

Agreed but was hoping to have some shims ready to go to minimize downtime.

I'll keep searching but wanted to put it out there just in case someone knew off hand. I'm not sure anything even protrudes through the center hole as it's resting on the spring so ID may be irrelevant?

The OD I assume as long as it's =< oem shims it will be fine (obviously the extreme case being < 5mm OD in which case it would fall through the center of the factory shim!)
