    Interest on aftermarket axle shims?

    I'm trying to gauge interest to see who would want these shims if any of you guys come across the same problem as mine.

    I know that the aftermarket half shaft discussions are a bag of mixed feelings. So I took a risk and bought a GSP remanufactured half shaft from a local parts store here in town. Upon installing the half shaft on my 325i ('89 with open diff) there was already a flaw that the GSP axle was not sitting flush where the 6 bolts go against the LSD side of the shaft and it will compromise the drive shaft and the LSD sooner or later. I had the same parts store to exchange one out for me but after inspection and measuring, they are all the same.

    So, my friend and I designed a shim that will make the half shaft sit properly to the LSD thru solidworks software and I had my dad to laser cut the shims for me. I have 5 sets but 2 sets are already accounted for.

    here's a pic (I will snap more pics when I'm ready to install it in my car)


    The shims are made out of stainless steel.

    I'll give locals the first dibs if they want it. Let's start at $20 a pair. Let me know.

    Thanks for looking
