9/16" arbor shims

[ted johnson]

Any machinists in our crowd who can tell me where to buy arbor shims for a 9/16" (McCulloch) shaft? I want to shim the drive gear on our new Dyna Drive output shaft to eliminate any end play. 9/16" seems a hard size shim to find. Most flat washers are too thick, and have a pretty large O.D., and the I.D. on a 9/15" washer is like 5/8". I don't need things flopping around on my shaft. Thanks! Ted

Ted;

I just got a few from Jim Donovan at TBO.  Both steel and fiber...
