That is where I got mine, it has a flexible metal 
shaft, the diameter of the magnet is about 6mm 
IIRC. Anyway, did not get the magnet until after 
I got the shim out with a screw driver. Went to 
Sears on the way to the Triumph dealer go get the 
shim replaced. Had to pick up a micrometer :-)

The magnet made it a lot easier to get the new 
shim in :-)

You live, you learn.

Have fun!
