Valve Shims - where do you get them?

Finally getting to the heads and I have a few valve shims from years ago. Where do you all buy your shims now? Do you just pop for the whole set or fish your source for the few you need?

Thanks

bevel drive shims are the same as modern ducati 2 valve shims so you can measure carefully, take notes, then go see your friendly neighborhood Ducati dealer for your shims

I would highly recomend that you install some of the MBP Collets to replace the stock half rings on the closer shims when you do this to greatly reduce further maint down the road.

I always have kits for ALL Ducati models old and new in stock
