Re: Axel Shims
The shims are all the same. You can get ones made by Grove from Aircraft Spruce. I noticed they've become quite spendy...
Sometimes you can rotate or flip some of the shims you may already have to get the desired result. Mine was out because the previous owner had installed them upside down...
