Color-Coded Slotted Shims
These shims are color-coded by thickness for easy identification. The slot lets you insert, remove, and adjust the shims without disassembling your machinery. Shims are corrosion resistant.
Painted aluminum shims are stronger than plastic shims.
Plastic shims work well in light duty applications.
