Thanks to all for their replies so far.
Some additional questions below. My apologies in advance for the handholding need. I am not a Lister owner so I don't know all the ins and outs of these machines.
1. What dimensions/quantities should a shim kit aimed at the CS series contain? Ideally I would like to be able to offer one kit that would cover all base shim needs for CS owners, one kit per cylinder.
2. As for material, steel would be cheaper than brass, so I would probably go with that unless othewise indicated. Were the OEM shims steel?
3. Cranshaft shims: Would be interested in learning more about what would be required for that, e.g. sizes and quantity. Perhaps this I could offer these as well as part of a complete shim kit for CS models.
4. Please forgive my ignorance, but would the crankshaft shims take the same shape as the crankshaft main bearing housing joint?
If I can find a consensus I plan on mfg. a small of these for sale separately or in conjuction with the kits I currently sell on ebay and on my Web site.
FYI, BTW, if anyone has any gasket or shim needs for these or any other machines please feel free to contact me.
The base gasket in the kits I currently sell are .5 mm (.020 in)
