.005 pinion shims available?

Are there any .005 pinion shims that for the BG 9 Bolt? The smallest I’ve seen and that came in my kit are .010

I think my kit came with .007 at least, I think they were Yukon or Ratech. I got them off Rock Auto

Cool good to know, thank you! It would make it much easier if they would list the sizes that come in the kits.

Yeah, it does suck but...

Here is the list on Yukon. I think I got both pinion shim sets and only used one though... not sure which one I used. If you PM me after 5pm EST I can take a look at what I have left and measure some of them for you

At least the shims are cheap

see if this works...

The Yukon part numbers equate to the USA STANDARD GEAR part numbers. only about $14 for the two sets
