I got tired of having to deal with the new shim stock that was always presented to me (when I worked at in a store's shop) so I did just that. I found an old board or two and cut out my own shims. Took a little time, but not that much. It was interesting to me to see a couple of the other techs who were also doing shimming head straight for the ones I had cut out and leave the "new ones" laying on the shelf. Never really noticed any difference in durability of the repairs in the long run, either. But it usually did make for a closer color match. FWIW... Brian Trout Quarryville, PA btrout@desupernet.net
