I ordered a bunch of different thicknesses from McMaster Carr. They are
great. Search the digest archives. Someone posted the item #'s a while
back.

 Going through this rear end on my El Dorado and there is definitely too
much play in the rear wheel bearings. I ordered parts for the
Ambassador from MG cycle today and tried to get some shims for adjusting
wheel bearings, guzzi part # 95100715, and 95100727 but they were out.
anyone know where I can get some? there are none at all in the Eldo and
it definitely has too much play (Thanks to Greg Bender for the
suggestion on how to check this without having to put the wheel back
on!) Also was wondering if anyone knows a source for the little screw
which holds the points down. As in lots of old engines, the one I have
is pretty chingered up and hard to tighten. Thanks for all the
suggestions as to how to solve my backfiring problem, I am going through
them all 1 by 1 and hope to have it sorted out soon.
