Can anybody help me find some 3.5 x 6 shims as I'm having a nightmare finding some, theyre to go on the rear inner hinge pins an the B5m

Any help would be much appreciated

Are these any good?
I know you said 3.5mm but I'm wondering if the hinge pin is 1/8"?

The hinge pin is 3.2mm so I need a 3.5mm shim to go over it mate

Hi,

These will work:

8mm x 4.2mm (This is what I am using on the rear pins of the B5.)

I also have smaller for the B44 / B4 sized hinge pins.
(They can be enlarged by just pushing the pin through.)

0.010" thick:
