Thanks heaps!!
I got a .32 one yesterday arvo which did the trick. still like to buy a selection if he is willing to get rid of a few. I know they are hard to come by so understand if not!
Now only to be held up by a box of lifters that has 3 instead of 4..
Should have checked the boxes when they arrived from the US I guess!
The .3 is correct.
They are not imperial so I am off saying .011 etc... The one I needed was actually .0126".

No worries.
I couldnt find new anywhere. Aircooled.net only have T1 shims.
Think heritage in the UK had one size in stock...
All good for now. Not in a hurry to do another type 4 after this ones dramas!
Thanks for checking for me.
