Well I will hunt down the shim tomorrow.  As for the bearing seat....it is
what it is....hope I don't get shafted.   In the end however....there is
some kind of peace that comes over one lieing on your back for hours, in the
cool shade, staring at end of a boxer engine - wondering what next?

Scott,

If one really needs this part (I don't believe I have one, but am not sure)
how can it be that you cannot buy it?  Seems to be a bit of a disconnect
there.

If our vans need purple widgets to get down the road, somebody is gonna make
a killing selling them.
