In that application the nut is not bearing directly on the shims. A
nut bearing directly on a thin shim will destroy the shim as the nut
is tightened. If you are going to shim a nut for rotation reference,
you need a hard flat washer between nut and shim, and the washer
should be keyed so it doesn't rotate.
