Shim Steel
Yes David you are right ,I have 32 subs only 6 are kits.
Onward..ShimSteel to hold the nice little units that David made to drive our boats,this is normally used by engineers to take up play or to shim a lathe tool to the correct height,It has a couple of drawbacks.
1 It is usally made from low grade stainless,which means it can rust if not sealed correctly.
2 It is like a razor on its cut edge,be warned.
From the pics you can see that it can be cut with normal scissors,you need to make it slightly narrower than the pump jet, they have a slight taper,then a small hole needs to be drilled so you can disassemble your pump jets I used a 3 mm drill.
next you need to spread silicone on one side full cover you dont need a lot of it, then just simply wrap it around the pump jet align the the hole for the grub screw,hold it altogether with a tight rubber band,job done let it dry...
Remember we are not racing, while bits are drying do some of the less glamorouse jobs a bit of sanding/filling.
I hope the pics show the process.
