You dont concern yourself with that gap on the
bottom of your shim.. seems it will try and spread
the stand and split it or crack it off
Nope, not at all concerned. There is no gap, just a little high tack to hold them in place when installing the shafts. If they were shims, I would definitely be concerned about splitting the stands, but they are billet spacers, not flat shim stock.
Sure is contacting on the corner and not on the bottom...
I buy those tapered spacers all the time at Mancinis...
.030 out to 0 at the ends... maybe your are thicker
I know it looks like a gap, Mike, but the dark area is just where the high tack squeezed out when the shafts were tightened. Probably had too much on it, but my high tack is starting to dry out some and getting a little thick.
My spacers are always thicker than .030". I've had them as thick as .345", but the thinnest has been .075". The ones in the pic happen to be .100". It just depends on what the math says it needs to be for a given application.
