MLG alignment shims

Post by FLOFlyGuy »

Trying to look into getting the MLG wheels aligned on a 2007 DA-40, going through tires at the cyclic rate. Looking into shims, I found the PN: D41-3213-11-53, but the only results when I search for those shims is one vague listing on a small parts site I've never heard of, one forum post from this website and a couple on ebay.

Was this superseded by something that I am unaware of? Why is it giving me such a hard time finding wheel shims?
