Anyone have a good source? I'm a bit out of alignment and annual is coming up so it is a good time to get things straightened out.
Thanks in advance.

I assume you’re looking for axle shims? Or gearbox shims?
I’d start with Atlee Dodge in either case. Next stop would be Airframes Alaska. Last stop would be Univair.

Grove makes some that are pretty affordable. They aren't for certified airplanes last I checked, but I bet if you put them on, your bird won't know that.

I have a pretty good selection of camber shims available but only have a few shims to correct toe-in. Please call me at 308-390-5974 if I can help.
