[SEL] Laminated shims

[Rupert]

Hello Rick,
	We had to make our own when I was in trade school years ago for 
babbetted rod bearings. I believe the shim stack is soldered along the 
journal edge of the shim. It's been along time but I think the total 
stack we used for each side was about 1/8" with the majority of the 
shims made from shim stock under .005". The thinest being 0.001".
