    Valve shims

    Anyone have any shims spare that I could have.
    Just need two shims 0.117" in size so I can adjust the clearance of my valves.

    Hi Bill

    Got some from Toyota last year and they were £8 each so was hoping that someone might have two lying around in their garage.

    Thanks Mark & Jane
