    Brass/bronze shim material?

    Does any one know where I can buy thin brass/ bronze shims like .002-.008.
    Or does some one have some that they can sell me, thickness isn't to critical.
    Any help appreciated

    www.onlinemetals.com <- I remember seeing a shim pack there, but it was a hell of a lot of metal, probably pretty pricey. Failing that I've bought copper bar stock from Mico Metals in NZ and probably any good engineering shop (or even something like a mitre10 mega perhaps) should be able to at least point you in the right direction...

    I think Blackwood Paykels carry shim metals, worth a look
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    How much do you need? In square inches like, and does it have to be brass , or would shim steel be OK?
