That's the one item I don't have - and NOS seem expensive for what they are. I'm contemplating using washers or trimming a small piece off the end of a stainless machine screw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm reasonably sure I won't be needing new shims for my operation because I (should have) a set of the required parts in my own '70 Charger pump or the '78 C141 parts tractor.

ineedanother 1,438 #28 Posted 4 hours ago This thread is timely...I just moved hydro lift from a spent, abused, '75 c-160 to a '73 Electro 12 with a manual lift but a 10 pinion L/S differential. I moved the K341 too because it was smokeless and I don't really care about the fuel consumption. The point is that the '75 c-160 with the 1140 didn't have any shims. Everything moved right onto the 1136 and is working fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like there's a chance no shims are needed at all - othewise add one at a time. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
