Replacement EQ6 shims

[rnobleeddy]

My 18 year old EQ6 (black, labelled heavy duty) has run into a few issues during a recent attempt to fit a belt mod. I manged to get a free a seized shaft and bearing without too much damage, so all I'm short of is some PTFE shims that were spacing the RA axis. 

Has anyone found a reliable source of these? Otherwise I wonder if a plastic milk bottle and a stanley knife will suffice.

Always worth googling:

When I hypertuned my CGEM I got a set of shims from Doug Dieter in the US. I  think they cost about $16 for 12 or 15; not sure now. His email address is skygazer@kennaquhair.com.  They were a bit rough around the edges; obviously not stamped out. More like cut with a craft knife, but a bit of wet & dry soon sorts that out.

HTH.

Ptfe or Teflon are better than the original plastic shim as you can set the worm at the correct height( originals are too thick).. Edd Thomas from deepspace products will sell them or buy different thickness sheet and cut your own
