Hello ,
Might I ask where members source magneto base shims please ?
These for the base of the magneto on My "Gold Star" .

I am trying to have these to hand before I replace the mag/dynamo .
Thank You in advance ,
Steve..

As I replied to you question in the Britbike Gold Stat forum, I've made them out of beer cans. Aluminium cans are usually .006" thick and steel ones .004", but I wouldn't want to use steel shims. Aluminium cans are quite easy to cut once flattened out into a sheet.
