shim club

[mvalenti]

Is the shim club still around? I need a bunch..

 

[Steve]

Yes, it is. Contact Ray by sending a PM to ghostgs1.

That screenshot looks familiar, but you need the updated version.
Send me a PM to confirm your e-mail address, I will send it to you.

thanks steve, I sent you an email over the weekend looking for the spreadsheet. I ended up finding one u sent me waaaaaaaay back...

 

[Steve]

"Waaaaaaaay back"??? :-k

It was only July, 2012. :-\\\

There have been a couple minor revisions since then. :encouragement:

[mvalenti]

LOL!!! wow.... time flies ...

 

[salty_monk]

I see some new shims needed in my future too

What a great resource it is & really nice to be able to custom pick the sizes instead of only the stock offerings!

I know I've seen it while lurking around, but who has the spreadsheet for the shim sizes?

Edit: NVM

 

[Big T]

Steve is that computer guy

See post #4 above

 

[Steve]

Leecatd got his spreadsheet (early) this morning. :encouragement:

Glad I saw this post. I ran across a half dozen shims in my toolbox yesterday. Since I don't have a GS anymore I'll ping ghostgs1 and see if he wants them for the club.

I'll be in the club before the season starts

 

[mvalenti]

Nice! I'm about to pull the trigger this week and order my shims. Steve, here is the spreadsheet filled out, gosh that made it easy! (3)2.59's, (1) 2.57, (1)2.63, and (1)2.67

Yes, it is. Contact Ray by sending a PM to ghostgs1.

Hi steve,
have sent several PM to ghostgs1 to get started in the club with no response? We want to get valves done next week but need a source for shims.
Any ideas?

 

[Steve]

If you go to Ray's profile page, you will see that he last signed in to the board a couple of weeks ago. He also has an e-mail address listed, might check that.

If worse comes to worse, you can buy the shims you need (except for the "X" shims) at Z1 Enterprises. Shop carefully, make sure they are 29.5mm shims.

Send me a copy (via e-mail) of your spreadsheet page so I can verify that you will be getting the correct shims.

Does anyone know if the Shim Club is still in operation? I need (2) 2.60 shims for my '82 1100G and am hoping to avoid the online prices.

Online prices aren't crazy these days. I bought a few 25mm's from 4into1 for $8 each. Not bad if you know the sizes and only need a few. Also don't recall if that is the Suzi size or if it was for a different project.

 

[willie]

Thanks. I'll look into 4into1. The best price I could find so far has been $13 each and $15 for postage.

Z1 has shims for $4.83 each.

I quite likely have some 2.60's. I'll check later and let you know Willie.

 

[GabrielGoes]

Pm me exactly what shims you need and what exact size shims of yours you would like to exchange. I have a pretty good collection, worst case I don't have em.

 

[Nessism]

If Gabriel doesn't cover you I've got some 2.60's. It's best to stock up and plan your next adjustment while gathering shims. Take an inventory and get some smaller sizes than what you have now.
