Shims

[Seriak]

Anyone know where I can get some heavy duty shims like ez-shims in Calgary or even metal shims to level my stand. Ones that won't rot on me.

If there is a Gregg's Distributors in Calgary you could try there. They sell shim kits and refills in SS.

any plumbing store should have them
probably even home depot or rona in the plumbing department

Go to a welding shop and see if they have any pieces around that they cut while setting there band saw blades. That's where I get my 4" round disks for my stand adjuster foot pads.

They have some cheap plastic toilet shims that would probably crack on me or wood at home depot. I will check on these other places

Most glass companies should stock plastic/vinyl shims in an assortment of shapes and sizes for dirt cheap or possibly free.

Would those lee valley ones work? I saw those the other day and I still have a gift card for there.

To shim my 400 I used a variety of strange things including metal washers, miscellaneous brackets and even some ikea flat door handles. Go metal and use anything you can find that's flat.
