Hey guys,
Building my 12 bolt from a 70 chevelle.
(Previous owner modified to go in Gbody)
I dont have the origional thick shims, those are apparently around +/- .250"
I just have an install kit with a ton of thin shims. (All shims combined will barely fill 1 side). My builds have been ok but always had the original parts.
Cant find the OEM shims anywhere, not GM, not Jegs, or local diff shop. no scrap yards here.
Anyway around this? I dont want to buy 2 more install kits and put like 15 shims per side.
Anyone deal with this before? Iv read some guys use a bunch of 1/8 shims, plus smaller ones. Will be a real pain plus clearences can shift under strip beatings according to local shop owner.
Let me know what you think,
Thanks!
Myles
