Just a quickie, can someone confirm that the SP shims are 9.48mm in diameter.....?
Cheers

yes mate - 9.48mm for the rc51 and firestorms.

i can recommend the hotcam shim kit for about 70 notes - more shims than you can ever use.
you get 3-4 of each size in 0.05 increments up to 3.2 in case you ever decide to go for a cam regrind

if youre doing the shim job, get yourself a magnet on a stick cos it makes it 10x easier as it lift the buckets off with the shim stuck inside rather than fishing about for the slippy little fker lol

Cheers Benny, thought I was right but always like to check.

wiseco also do a similar set but its a bit dearer.

* dont forget if you are ordering from the states get the seller to mark the parcel as gift with a $10 value or you will get hit with import tax and it will piss you off!
half the price of the same kit from the uk though

bargain!!!

i know where to come now when i need the odd shim lol!

pity they dont do the single box for half the cost from say 1.50 - 1.90 as that's all you'll ever need unless you get a set of reprofiled cams with smaller base circle

I had to buy 6 x 1.75 when i shimmed my SP2 .......
