Hello everyone,
I'm rebuilding a stock November 1959 36hp Type 1 (Karmann Ghia) motor and am in dire need of these shims to set the rocker arm to push rod side-play just right. They seem to be made of unobtainium.

Does anyone have a source for these or any number of them that they are willing to part with? My rocker bar is 16mm or (5/8'') or (.625") thick.

Looking forward to any and all answers.
Thanks,
Ramsey

Call Gene Berg. They have tons of parts not listed on their website. Talk to Tim.
