140 Axle Shim

I'm looking for an axle shim Part# 0441116-2 for my 1946 C-140. (N76679). I was mounting new tires and when cleaning all the parts I found a crack from the edge towards a bolt hole.

I'm in Olympia WA, based at Shelton (KSHN) if anyone would be able to help out.

Thank you
Arnie

There is no way that the shim is going to fall out or cause any problem!
What does your Ai say about the cracked shim?

I'd have to agree with the other John. Three holes is plenty to hold the shim in. My only concern would be an uneven mounting surface for the axle.

If you want to replace it, Grove makes a suitable shim:
