Yes that's my envelope Roo.

WTF has happened to that?

That's got to be deliberate.

When I get some more I'll replace them for you.

I do have some 0.1 and one 0.5 shims.

Just thought, maybe they ripped it open due to the smell coming from it (re my previous post  ;D ;D )

Seriously, just ordered enough shims for 10 more sets, I'll make a new set for you Roo as soon as they arrive.

Just to confirm, Bryan, 2 x Phil, John, 3scs, Mick, Simon have all confirmed arrival. Roo's went missing so that's 8. I sent 10 and the other has confirmed arrival so that just leaves Nigel I think, did they arrive Nigel? just so I know.

I'll post when they are done, only just ordered them so it will be a few days before they arrive and then it's a long fiddly job to modify them to fit, so probably by the the weekend I'll have them finished.

I'll advise when they are done in case anyone else needs a set. The rest will go on Ebay I think along with my new batch of felt washers.

Meant to check out my spare engines (have a 500 and a 550) for these but kept forgetting, then went on holiday and forgot again!
Found I have used all the shims up on the bikes I have going now, so would also appreciate a set if/when they are available. Hope I'm not to late (again)!!
