Wanted: Chevrolet Kingpin Shims? C8 ...need a few extra

[Alex van de Wetering]

Guys,

I am desperately looking for a few Kingpin shims to get my C8 front axle back together. It's all fitted with new bushes, bearings, pins and shims, but I need a few extra shims to get the correct "play" as mentioned in the manual. Does anyone have a few to spare?

Inside diameter is 24,3mm - .95"
Outside diameter is 44.4mm - 1.75"

C15's also use kingpin shims, but parts number seems different....no idea if the measurements are close or even the same.(?)

I am not having luck here at the shops selling carparts, hardware or farm tractor parts. Speedway motor in the US have them, but postage is killing for a few rings only.
