Hi John,
               The Canadian supplier Pianophile, has .010"  shims. you can
order on line.   Piano Tech in the US carries both an agraffe reamer, and a
reamer for reducing the base of the agraffe.  Using both in combination along
the agraffe line makes it easier to keep the string line level.

Regards Roger
