Any motor builders out there looking for custom shim sizes you cant find? Have concerns about getting stock shims cut?

I found a place that will make custom shims, I don't have a price yet but would anyone else be interested in a set?

For the VE lovers I may just get a ton of shims made from 2.6mm to 2.8mm in .05mm increments.

Cool :cool:

I can be almost 100% sure I will need some of these in the future (but of course I don't know what sizes yet) and I'm sure once the JWT cams come out more and more people will be getting into VE headwork. If you can get them made for a decent price, you should have a whole bunch made in the sizes you estimate will be common. I'm sure you will be able to move most of them since the only other option is ordering from Mossy and waiting weeks or months for them to come in.

are they custom made by the juggernaut?

I used a sander and finished them after with 400 grit. I put the refinished side towards the valve. I used a digital mic to measure till I got the right sizes.
