64mm OD Bearing Shims

[EddyP]

Morning all,

I need to get some shims that are 64mm OD, 54mm ID, around 0.4mm thick, preferably in steps. It's for the input shaft bearing on a T5 gearbox, for some reason getting them in this country seems to be nearly impossible but they're off the shelf in the US.
Does anyone know of somewhere in the UK that stocks them so that I don't have to import some and pay crazy shipping just for a few shims?

Thanks
Ed.

I had cut some using a sharp set of flypress tooling with a close fit from shim stock, worked quite well, I no longer have the big flypress, you need a small engineering, sheetmetal or lighting firm,

I have cut similar by hand using curved jewellers snips, either brass or stainless shim stock

Many places will make peelable shim to your drawing - a quick google should reveal local suppliers.

Lamiblock shim packs were the type we used sometimes, But usually all hand cut,
