that doesn't mean that I think 4 is the limit. But 4 is getting pretty dodgy.
Using washers is definitely a bandaid.

Hey Gordon,
Up late to huh? How many washers is that 4? I think that I have
four on mine now and want to add a little bit more shimming. Maybe I should
jsut ask how many washers is too much??
