Need some camber shims for c5.
I googled around but it's hard to tell if they will fit flat. Most don't give dimensions. The ones that came with the Pfadt camber kit were perfect.
Need to have a little tab at the top & narrow slot to hug the studs without there being too much space.
Need a kit with variety of sizes from .05mm up to .4mm probably.
What do you use?

The McMaster ones (AA size) are actually a little bigger overall dimension than the Pfadt ones. Maybe if you use the Pfadt first (to clear an overlap metal joint on the frame) then add the AA's they will work. I guess I'll order some & try it. The Pfadt's are 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 so a little smaller & have not found any by googling.
Thanks all.
I just eyeballed the upper shim area looking thru my wheel & they may fit. There is a "carve out" on the Pfadt dog bone that they have to nestle into so not sure there, but grinding on the shim to fit should work.
