Overview
Shims are the quiet heroes of a well-built race car. These Tekno RC 5x7x0.2mm shims have a 5mm bore, a 7mm outside diameter and a 0.2mm thickness, which makes them the right tool for taking slop out of an assembly without changing anything else about it.
Slide one or two in alongside a bearing, behind a pulley or against a shoulder and you can remove unwanted end play in a controlled, repeatable way. The bag holds ten, so you have enough to set up a full assembly and still keep spares in the pit box.
Key Features
- 5mm inside diameter, 7mm outside diameter, 0.2mm thick
