Default Shim C hubs / rear hub

Hi all,

I've just renewed all my pivot pins, C hubs, and rear hubs and wishbones on my KF, so essentially the 'moving' wish bone assembly is new front and rear.

One side is really good with little slack, but the other side is pretty bad unfortunately despite new components.

With this in mind, I was wondering if anyone could recommend some ultra thin shims to pack the wobbly side out? Standard kit washers are just a fraction too thick.

Thanks

Adrian

Ream or drill the correct size hole in an old wing or lexan cut off, then use a ring binder hole punch to punch out a shim. Free shims.
