I ended up using the .006" shims as templates and made a set out of .002" brass shim stock. Scissors for the perimeters and exacto knife for the bolt holes. Worked well. I started with the 4x shims per side of caps and ended up using 2x per to get .002" clearance. Adjusted as the book says 'by feel' then double checked with plastiguage at the end.
When I called around for shims all that were available or known had 10 pieces. Thanks and good luck folks, freezerburn
