RE: [ST] Valve Shim Removal Tool

["Dan Wallander" <triumph99@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The tool is symetrical.  The difference is in the two center bolt holes. 
They are a bit closer (a mm +\-) to one side than the other rather than
centered.  I don't have precise measuring tools, but this difference is
obvious with a ruler.  There may be more differences a bit less obvious.
