I have 4 shims New never installed, if you are interested i'll sell all 4 for $70 plus shipping. I know you may have already purchased, but thought i would give it a shot.

. . Yup

. . Thanks but you are right, I just received them. . Found a couple sellers on ebay that sell the same parts that are in the corvette catalogs at a much better price. .
