Chaps
I need a source of imperial shim washers (1 9/16"OD) of to pack out a bearing in a housing. I can track down metric shim washers but have drawn a blank on the imperial sizes I need. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Does the "shim" characteristic mean that they are too thin for you to part off your own?
Charles Shim washer tend to be a bit undersize to allow for the radius inside the housings. Inch and nine sixteenth's is a gnat c*ck under 40mm Can you get these and if necessary trim a bit off with a pair of sharp sissors or snips?

Axles pinion bearing shims or diff bearing shims?
Gearbox first motion shaft shims?
I've a few here from our old Carlton axle, what sizes do you need?

The OD is 1 9/16". Don't have the ID to hand and thicknesses are as yet undecided. I think that I'll follow the JS route of manipulating metric ones -

seem to have them at sensible prices.
