    It will be air cooled A1 which you can grind down to 1mm if you want to and it will still retain the same c-scale strength. If you use o1 material on 4mm shim if you grind it down to 3mm the center will be soft. For stock retainer you will require 12mm O.D shims but for aftermarket I will be making them at 12.5mm. The reason being that metal will expand with heat and none of us want a shim to get stuck in a retainer.

    edit A2 material.

    12.5mm shims are being made as we speak. I will taking orders now, 6 sets should be made by next friday(nov4th.

    I require a min order of 7 sets of 12mm(oem size) and 7 of the 12.5mm (aftermarket retainers)Keep in mind you need to measure the inner diameter of your retainers to know if these will fit. most aftermarket retainers are about 12.80 I.D. The cost of the machining is abit more then I expected but each set will cost $200 CAD shipped anywhere in Canada or U.S.

    I just talked to my engine builder and the OEM Retainer has an I.D of 12.85mm so the 12.5mm shims will work better. I won't be carrying the 12mm shims.
