We have the shims in our store in Aberdeen, South Dakota. Guess it wouldn't hurt to put them in the online store, eh.

What's your store? I'd like to get prices for the shims and the 1" plate.

Depending on how thick the shims you want I get mine from parts pallets that are not re-used. Check the receiving areas of stores or ask at lumber dealers for any Parts pallets they will give you. Just cut to size, mostly all hardwood.

For the hardwood shims, at the time of this post we get $9.50 per bundle of 10. Shims are 5.5" wide. Heavy to ship of course. Figure $10 shipping for the first bundle and $2 each after that.

Are you gonna put them on your online store or how do I order?
Are they really 5.5" wide?
How about posting all the dimensions?
Thanks.

Dimensions of the shims are 5.5" wide x 11 inches long x 3/4" thick. The shims are now available in our online store. Page down and you'll see them on the left side of this page: http://mobilehomerepair.com/order.htm#catalog

I got a big ole pile of them, so order as many as you need.
