Default Head shims for TT 46PRO

Can anyone tell me where I can get head shims to suit the TT46 PRO engine?

The ones we get here appear to have a 9 or 10 thou shim, which is too much to remove in one hit. We really need some 3 to 5 thou shims if we can find any to adjust the compression to suit our varying climatic conditions.

Any help will be most appreciated.

For my TT40s I cut them from .005 soft aluminum sheet. I bought a role of it from an arts and crafts store.

RUN IT WITHOUT IT. I DO AND NOW PROBLEMS WITH OVER HEATING. BUT IF YOU WANT THEM, U CAN BUY THE ONES FOR NELSONS OR JETT Q-500 ENGINES AND WITH A LITTLE SANDING THEY WILL FIT.
