I have bought some kits from them going as far back as 2000. They did not provide shims when they sold the kits. That was something fellow enthusiasts figured out after so many of the kits were sold and did not work properly. They are a distributorship. So chances are, that kit you bought is from them or piggybacked on one of their containers. Cheers, BenT |
