Shims

[AndyUK]

I use the shimming foil found in the kitchen -12.5p/metre.

Well yeah - I've used that in a few other places. I just don't think Tesco's dimensional tolerances are up to snuff.... Perhaps I'm just a snob?

Edit: Plus this stuffs bronze. Much fancier.

Have you tried the Waitrose product?

Is your bronze Spring Tempered, Grade A, Rockwell 30T 76-80 or just the ASDA cheap stuff ?

Seriously though - if I am shimming up with foil, I check the results after reassembly, and only use it where it is actually suitable.
