    Metric shims?

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know where in Auckland or anywhere in NZ for that matter you can buy a small quantity of metric stainless shim washers?
    I need some with ID of 11 and 13 mm OD 16, 18, 24 mm 0.1mm 0.2 mm 0.3 mm approx
    Ideally some engineering shop so I can go and pick them off the shelf, I can get an imperial kit with an assortment but it's crazy money and mostly useless sizes.
    What for you may ask? Honda RS250r suspension linkages
    Thanks in advance!

    Buy some shim stock, and cut it to your required sizes.
    Try Paykels, or similar.

    Thanks for the info people, I used Precision Shims in Oz in the end, very helpful, and reasonable prices,.
    It's a bit hard to cut these by hand as 0.1mm thick with 3.0 mm surface diameter is so fine, no problem for a laser apparently!
