Where do you guys get your main blade shims?

[WillJames]

Since my blade of choice, V-Blades are 12mm root and the Razor grips are 14mm where do you get the 2 1mm shims from to fly V's?

A box of radix blades. :mrgreen: Radix blades include them.
For the price of v-blades you would think they would give you a set with theirs.

[WayneBrown]

Could you not ream the holes out to 5.5mm on the tail blade shims? Just curious..

Since I could not find only the shims anywhere on any online store that advertises with us, I ordered the Radix 600's.

Geeezzzz....

I make mine from brass shim stock. I have a LARGE roll of it if you want some.

[WillJames]

Crap you are right David! Man, got the Razor all ready to setup and no shims to use to put the blades on. :DOH I guess I should have planned for the lack of shims, but I did not.... :(

I would LOVE 4 1mm shims please Tom if you don't mind taking the time to make them. That would be great!!

[cgbole]
