Subject: [CR]Seat Stem / Cluster Fitting Problem

I have the reverse of the seat stem/cluster fitting problem being discussed. The ID of the cluster measures 26.8 mm, and I have two stems with ODs measuring 26.6 mm. that I\u2019d like to use. I figure a 0.1 mm or 0.003 in. shim would take up the space. Is there a manufactured 0.003 in. shim with a lip on the top edge to hold it in place? If so, who sells it? If not I\u2019ll have to improvise with some brass or SS shim stock. I just don\u2019t want to buy a whole sheet of the stuff for the little I\u2019d need. I don\u2019t have a micrometer, but maybe someone who has used soda can metal can tell me its thickness. Thanks
