So for shims, before you mail order, it might be worth getting them straight from the dealer.

If you can still take them back...? I import them directly from Germany and sell them for $0.89 each. I can split up the box and vary the set number. They start at 0.80mm and go to 1.95mm in 0.05mm increments.
