Aye aye everyone. With a house move coming up and looking for a good excuse for " garage time" I thought I might revisit the shims, and while there put a camchain and guide in. Then, reseal hopefully for life!!
Anyone know the whereabouts and availability of the shim suppository? No rush.....in the bleak mid winter will do..

That it be. I normally take shim sizes and post the required shims so as to not risk the entire collection in da post. So lettuce snow the sizes required and oil gerrum to ewe in da port or wherever.
Are ye moving far capn?

Sounding like a plan already. Hopefully won't need any adjustment anyway but I'll aim for a Dec / Jan farkle. Fits perfik with weather predictions.
Moving literally half mile. Down sizing from Uber garage to 2 parking spaces under a condominium (flats). All secure and dry....no idea what the living part is like...

I'll be working on it Lee. Bike lift and bench with be going with me. Just need to rig up lighting. It'll be a compromise but workable.

Quote:just mention if you have a gap too small its easy to rub a shim down on a diamond stone
... but not so easy to case harden them afterwards.
Arghhhhh capn! If ewe need a man with a partially empty van to help move when the time comes, lettuce snow.

Thanks Daps, great offer but due to my great age and regardless of my elite athlete physique, SWHMBO won't let me do the lifting, so it's over to some strapping gen X gorillas to move us....thanks anyway.
Yes lee....living out of boxes is for "others"....
