McMaster Carr here in the states will custom make shim's of course you have to order them by the sheet meaning all sizes on the sheet will be the same. I will also have to check with them on what material is available. MB says these shims must be hardened. There are plenty of places that will custom make these but small quantities makes it difficult.
Perhaps if there are a couple of guys on this forum that would like to order shims in a select set of sizes we could justify a group buy. I suspect the interest would be low so if three guys were interested they would end up with 10 sizes with 5 of each size or something like that. Expensive but might be cheaper than MB.
How about the side cap shims, same problem?

All the shims I've come across so far have been seriously expensive. For the parts I've been trying to find a surprising number of options are still available in principle. I'm not sure how long they are going to be around though - the impression I get from Germany is that they are running down their stores inventory and are less and less likely to be restocking.
I've found the cost of shims has been similarly expensive for Volvos and for Land Rovers.
