“We build offroad Baja Bugs and were spending a lot on metal link pin shims for the front end. In my case I use five shims per side with a total of 40 shims for wheel camber alignment. The use of several shims allows for a slight movement in the joining surfaces. After a short time these shims wear and push themselves out. I then tried silicon bronze but this was too brittle and broke. Vesconite to the rescue. I machined four Vesconite shims with a width of .086 each. to replace the 40 shims that had cost a good amount of money. To date, I have not had to replace any of the Vesconite shims. Vesconite has solved the problem.”
