Yes,
I put the shims (by this I suppose you mean the pins and the anti-rattle spring) back, and promptly made about 12 stops from 70mph, full force. They perform so well, I was truly surprised - thats a lot of mass to haul down so quickly! I'll have her on jacks in about 2 days, so I'm going to inspect more closely.

Thanks so far,
