Bit of a long shot but does anyone have any shims lying around in their workshop which they don't need ?
I'm working on a final drive and want to reduce the backlash, I have a 2.40 shim so might need something around 2.20 or 2.25 to start with as a reference as I'm looking to reduce the backlash from 0.32mm to within 0.06 to 0.16mm range.

The part number for a 2.25 shim for example is 33 121 450 083.

Yes, I could order a few from BMW but I could also probably work out what size I need if I can get hold of a smaller size to start with.
I also might be on the look out for the larger preload shim once I figure out the backlash.

Should be in the wanted section but there's more chance of someone seeing it here instead :thumb2

Also feel free to offer suggestions on my other post regarding the rich running...2 bikes with 2 very different problems :blast
 
And before Steptoe or Mikey pick me up on it the backlash is between 0.07 & 0.16mm...not 0.06.. :nono
 
Good to see someone doing the job properly! How many are rebuilt without the correct shimming?
