okay, I have everything all set to order the correct shims, as my local triumph dealer wants $18.50 each, and wont swap them. The only problem is when I called great bay, they said the sizes are too small for what is offered. I need 4 shims, from 2.41mm to 2.79mm. They are saying the shim sizes are starting at 3.45mm. Anyone else had this problem? I triple checked my sizes with 3 different micrometers, and double checked my math on the conversions (as I don't have any metric micrometers, nor do my fellow technicians) and checked against my metric feeler guage stacked to equal the sizes. Any ideas?

Subject: [ST] Valve Clearance Issues
My 00 St is currently apart, and I just removed the cams after checking the
clearances. Anyone out the have the proper clearances, as my Haynes manual
is saying .01-.04mm and .04-.07mm , when I am coming up with .22mm and .4mm
! O'd rather have the US specs, but anything positive would be great. I
have a calculater to convert them my selvesThanks.
