    Question Shimming Diff´s in little Summit

    Can anybody tell me the dimensions of the spacers normally used when shimming the diff´s from a Summit vxl?

    Bore diameter (should probably be 8 mm) ?
    Outer diameter (my guess is 10 mm) ?
    Thickness in mm (what is normal - are there any different steps or just add some more) ?

    I have not found any supplier here in Germany so far...

    thx in advance

    - sorry for posting twice - there was obviously a server problem - can somebody please delete the second one? -

    It will help keep them from stripping out.
