I never worked out why you need bent feelers, the normal ones work just fine.

Not sure who is holding the benny shim kit after it left my workshop day last year?

Excessive self-fornification?

It's hard being single and lonely :( :lol:

I dunno. If you can't count it on your fingers and toes? (This doesn't apply if you live in Grain)

its a 50/50 for me know, I have friends visiting spain and flying back to the uk on the day of the workshop meet, I could fly back a day or two earlier, but it would look a bit off, I also haven't even started stripping down my bike to put a new engine/forks/shock and a few other bits in, plus the mot runs out on the 14th of april, so its looking iffy at best... :(

Gaffa taping to a near buy lampost anyone ?

Even better than that, ratchet strap him to the garage ceiling using my improv bike hoist!

And the ratchet straps are easier to use than rope... if all your fingers are joined together that is :lol:

Back to the question, yes, I have the shim kit and use straight feelers with no problems- I'll bring them along, with a vernier caliper. You can do the work, though!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
