This idea was mentioned somewhere in the past FOT discussions. It's the
same approach as the 8.8 Ford setup, but I don't see how you can keep thin
shims from damage. The Ford uses one single shim of the appropriate
thickness. These's also the problem with shim walkout. Pulling the
carrier bearings is the least of my troubles when setting backlash and
preload.
