All the watercooled engines (+ the 800/1000 aircooled) have generally thinner shims than the aircooled engines.
The bevels generally have thicker shims, of exactly the same design !

I started out by buying small selections of used shims but now have a set of shims for aircooled engines and find that I use a very small proportion of them, so would definitely consider buying in some more and offering an exchange deal for a small fee (to ensure I dont lose money cos the cost of a set is not small as you probably know)

What do you think would be a good deal ?
