Bull Bar Cowboy Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 A tip that may help a few............... Today I needed a largish shim of about 4.75 thou............... A John Smiths beer can is exactly 5 thou and its steel.................. A Cafferys beer can is also exactly 5 thou and its aluminum.................. Both are easily cut with scissors ................... Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 So if you take a john smith with you on the trail, you can also fix an exhaust-first need to drink it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
