Coming to the end of my type 4, 2Ltr engine rebuild and I find shims to set the end float are not in stock anywhere. To achieve middle of the range 0.10 I need a total of 0.98, I have two new 0.30 so need a 0.38 or two 0.34s. The old shims were two 0.30s and a 0.34 but I'd rather not reuse them are abit damaged. Thanks for any help.
@Ulysses Can you wait to tomorrow night, I may have some shims in my bin of parts left over from Gusbus motor. I’m sure I have some in a packet ( or did have some).
Thanks MorkC68 I've been rebuilding this engine for over a year now so I can easily wait a bit longer.
77Westy CSP won't ship to the UK, Shipping to UK and Northern Ireland Due to the new import and tax regulations there is a minimum order value of 200 Euro. Sorry for the inconvenience caused by the new UK import and tax regulations. They'll ship anywhere else in the world though so I think they're playing silly beggers.
if you would like to ship them to me in Australia i would be happy to forward them to the UK if that helps
that's a bugger, I dug them out this morning & they are two 0.38's and a flywheel shim (all new) which you could have had for the cost of postage as I'll not need them!
Glad your sorted. I thought CSP might not ship to the UK, and there are many UK suppliers that won’t ship to Europe - we all lose.
When I was searching for some they had various names e.g. "flywheel shim" "thrust washer". They can also be listed under engine capacity "1700", "1800", "2000" and also "WBX" I had best results searching for "vw flywheel shim thrust" plus the thickness "0.34". Ignore any part numbers beginning 113 as they are type 1 shims Edit: there don't seem to be many about btw
I thought I’d tried most likely descriptions but I missed ‘thrust washer’. The last ones I bought were from CSP and there seems to be stock in other suppliers in Europe.
