Valve shims near Swindon

#1 PostAuthor: MP Weston » Sun Apr 29, 2018 7:03 pm

I am just about to re-valve my 1977 Z1000A1, I am expecting to have to re shim the whole lot, does anyone know where I can get shims within traveling distance from Swindon?

Thanks

Debbens at Ringwood is probably the nearest certainty but the club does operate a shim swop service for PUM's like yourself.

Tim Blakemore racing in Bristol probably keeps some.

If you work out what sizes you need.
I could have a look and see if I have the ones you need ?
