Need thinner 8mm shims - 10.05.2009, 12:55 AM

I need some thinner 8mm shims for my V3 hybrid diffs. I have a bunch of the Ofna ones that are 0.3mm but they are too thick. Does anyone use any shims that are definitely 0.1mm or 0.2mm? I have found other 8mm shims but many don't specify how thick they are.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I bought .1mm shims from McMaster Carr when I did my cen diff mod.
Not sure where to get if you only want a few. I know i've seen them tho.

HPI and Ofna have .2mm shims. Or break out a sanding stone (or some rough concrete) and sand them down a bit (kinda ghetto, but that is how I sand the shims down when I do full sized car diffs)

Found some 0.1mm shims at a little online shop called Tony's Screws. Pretty small inventory but has a good amount of hardware including vehicle specific screw kits. I think I've seen his stuff listed on Ebay also.
