Elton,
You can probably get by with only two of each size, which is still
expensive in my book. I have also used beer cans and whatever else that
I could find in my garage that could be cut out and used as a shim. I
am currently replacing my front hubs and each hub required a total of 5
shims, (.030,.015,.010,.005,.005).

Hi, fellow listers!
Does anyone know of an inexpensive source of front bearing shims for a
BJ7?
Moss wants over $4 each for the .003" and .005" shims. Based on archive
recommendations that I should get six of each size plus four of the
.010"
shims, it can get pretty expensive for these flimsy critters.
Thanks for your help.
