I don`t now what you guys are doing with 12* shims? Your the fourth guy that wanted them, They run $25 each . Let me now what hole size you need and what side the hole is perpendicular to? also what height you want the thin end. I make them from 2"x3" stock and the thin end can be as thick as .950 down to about .125 Thanks Duffy
P.S. I have been running about 2 or 3 day turn around time on custom sizes.
On your 2.5" wide 6* shims - what is the total length? Get me a total on 3 of them, shipped and I will have PayPal send you some $$$ :)

Looking for a pair of 9° shims for 3" springs. 3/4-1" thick would be great. Ship to 14627. I guess I'll have to measure bolt size unless you happen to know what's good for '90s fullsize Ford springs (springs are '90 Bronc, axle is '96 F250 and they match for what it's worth).
Hook me up. :D

Thanks for the e-mail reply, Duffy. The 8* shims, drilled to accept the head of the centerbolt (so I can weld 'em on to the perches) and offset a bit, ought to do the trick, if you can set 'em up that way.

I can do any hole size and any angle,,, I have made a lot of custom ones all the way up to 17* and 3" wide .... most of the time the high angle ones are used on the side of the diff were the factory mount was part of the diff casting.

Could you make a shim that would sit between the knuckle and axle flange on a unimog 404 if I got the dimensions to you? The idea was brought up on this thread: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=293010&highlight=wrong+mogs
d.d.machine
11-11-2004, 05:07 PM
Yepp camber shims for the 404 look easy... I just looked under my 1966 404.1 belgian and it looks like you could do it right were the 4 bolt flange is?
If you can get me a good gasket or a end off a tube I could make some. The only thang is the thin side of it needs to be .125 or it gets to thin to machine.

Hey, Duffy do you have any more of the 4* 2.5" wide ones left? Thanks
If you're interested, there is a website where you can take credit cards online. Go to http://www.propay.com/. My wife uses it in her business. It's easy and you can do it from any computer that has web access.

sending paypal for a set of 6 deg 2.5 wide shims have you ever looked at building inner knuckles for hummer portal boxes to mount them to say 9 inch or dana 44 center chunks? i could use a couple if you want to make some
ray balcom
05-13-2005, 09:11 PM
I have a 93 dodge with d-60 with after market spring packs....
1st question: If you increase rear spring hangers by 1.5" how many degrees caster does that reduce axle caster assuming 24" from axle centerline to spring hanger.
2nd: a 5" shim measures .084" on thin side and .24 on the thick side (how many degree shim is this ?) w/o taking it apart.....
I will order a set of shims based on the above answers....thanks !

Duffy - thank you very much for sending out those 12* shims so fast. These things are beefy. The 12* ones I got are for 2.5" wide springs - don't know if he ran a batch of wider or not. These things are heavy. Very nice work Duffy.
