From what I have measured, I'd need a 0.118" spacer. (~3mm) I've ordered the spacers from Todd. I have ordered extra shims to make 0.110, 0.115, 0.120, 0.125. I'll try the 0.115" first to see how that fits.
Just remember this is what I have found on my year car. Just be careful, it may be different for other year cars!
So, Brian has found and Bill has sourced the longer bolts, 35mm thread length. I just found a machine shop that can make the shims out of SS, I'm not sure if grade 10 is good enough, but the owner/machinist will let me know.
SF-SVT, let me make sure I understand this:
0.110? = 2.794mm
0.115? = 2.921mm
0.118? = 2.9972mm IDEAL
0.120? = 3.048mm
0.125? = 3.175mm
I asked the shop to make me these shims and Bill may/will be ordering enough sets to make a 'grab-bag' of shims, which he will include in the purchase of the rotors/calipers, at an additional cost. From what I was told to expect, about $10-$15, since they will be custom made, if they can source the proper material.
I would prefer to only use 1 or even 2 shims, for safety's sake. Let me know and I can ask them to go ahead with the shims.
