PBR brake swap from 1989 to a 1988 9 Bolt- need backplate shims
I purchased a used kit from Hawkes a couple years ago but did not install them. I am in the process of collecting all the parts I might need and am not sure where to get backing plate shims? I guess there was a gent “Andyz28” that sold them but his sites are defunct. I suppose I could just use washers if needed. Any other options or suppliers that sell the shims?

I don't know where to get "factory" ones from; butt you could buy some shim stock from McMaster-Carr or MSC or some such and make yourself some.
