Shims?
 
where is the best place to buy some shims?
I have measured all the clearences and now need to adjust accordingly but dont want to spend £150:eek: on a 2v kit for 5 shims.
many thanks.

You can buy new ones seperately from a dealer, but its cheaper if you have someone you know who will sell you secondhand shims. I did that with Alf in Worthing before I bought my kit.
If you have a local-ish dealer you like, its worth going in and asking !
Nothing ventured - nothing gained.

Would you recomend starting some sort of shim pool and that way do some sort of exchange service between us?

shim pool. I like the idea, nice one.
