not to get picky but i think a would look for better rocker shims then VSI spring shims i would look at stainless steel shims. like T&D JESEL .Crane and others use .McMaster Carr should have some thing better if not use the blue steel spring shims.thats a 030 on there.you can get hard blue steel in some sizes on the rods 015 short is a lot but i know a guy that has a pin boring machine that a EZ fix if you can float the pin
