Trying to do Ski Shim Install...grrr

[Jagger]

Trying to cure darting.

It seems that the thickness of a belt is too thick for the shim and I can't get the holes to line up to put it back together.

I need something thats about 1/8" or so thick. 1/4" is too much.

What have some of you guys used to do the shim install.

I used wood shim stock like you would use for a door jam or cabinets. It lasted me 170 miles so far if it falls out a was going to use nylon next. But the wood seems to be working. I tapped it in with a hammer then broke off on my 94 vmax

1/8..........

...Rubber, Teflon, ABS Plastic & Aluminum all work well

You want it a 1/4" thick,,,,it's a good place to start.
find somthing plastic if you can that works best.
