Currently adjusting valve clearances as a result of camshaft change and finding shims that will provide correct gaps is proving a challenge. Precision shims only have flat shims of 13mm diameter or 13.8mm the Peugeot shims are 13.4 mm. I was wondering what other members have done.

Perhaps Euroserve would be able to supply some given the time they have been playing with these cars.

Thanks Alan I will try next week
Thanks Peter
Have you tried it?
No, as I do not have a lathe managed to sort out from friends shim set
It is not that big a difference from 13.8 to 13.4. You can sand the difference down using a stub arbor with a magnet in a hand drill. Tedious, but if you don't have another option...

I always use the Precision Shims, no problem.
I had a feeling they could be used out of the box, .4mm is negligible in the context.
