Spare oval shaped shim for WRD?
« on: January 10, 2021, 16:45:57 »
Dear All

Would I be so lucky that someone has some spare oval shaped shims for the Warm-Running-Device they want to part with, so that I can adjust the mixture during the warm-up? :)

I have looked all over for them, and cannot find any to buy.

I will of course pay for them and shipping. I live in Denmark in Europe.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks,

Christian :)

If you can’t find any you can make some. I believe have I read on this forum that people have even made them from a beer can.  Your can also buy hobby metal sheets for local hardware stores.

Thanx, I have seen this also in previous threads on the forum.

However, it would be great, if someone would have made a whole load of them, and could maybe spare a few. ;)

Cheers,
