New 1-piece rocker stand shims available....$35 a set.

[blykins]

I'm looking at having some rocker stand shims made in different thicknesses.  These would be one piece, that would span across the entire cylinder head, supporting the end stands, locating off of the stand studs/bolts, and having holes for head fasteners. 

I routinely have to make shims in .060" and .125" thicknesses, so I would offer them in those thicknesses.

Not sure on pricing as I'm still getting quotes.  Obviously the larger quantity, the better the price would be.

I just got done making my own, sure would have been nice to be able to buy a set off the shelf from a vendor and skip all that fun.  Having a +1/4" length stud kit would also complement the bigger shim as well.

Sounds like one of those items that if it is known about, and is available, it will sell quickly for later use.  A lot of parts get bought with the idea of "What if", and "next time".  Just made a set with 3/16" plate.  Joe-JDC

It would be nice to have some pre-made. They're easy enough to build, but for the cost of having a batch done I'd rather buy a set and use my time elsewhere.

I'd be in for a set.  In fact I was about to post a want -to-buy looking for source.

I would likely be in for a set, depending on how the rocker height of my new engine ends up.  I like the idea a lot.

When do you suspect you'd have them available for purchase?

[blykins]

Several weeks.   Gotta have a sample made first, then have a batch made up. 

[Arizona ‘58Mercury]

At that price might as well buy a set of each... they just in case factor. 

[blykins]

Samples being made.  If everything is approved, then it's on like Donkey Kong.

You just may have hit on a winner.  Put me down for a pair of .060 when available.
