Hello everyone,
new to iboats and boating in general.
I purchased a 1985 SeaSwirl Spitfire 17' boat with an OMC 3.0L Inboard and assuming, 400 series outdrive.
I decided to replace the Intermediate drive bearings, and upper drive bearings, due to grenading.
parts have been installed, but now I need to check the shim and tolerance with special tools that are pretty much not available through eBay and other sources.
unfortunately, a few of the shims were destroyed prior to me starting the rebuild, so I have no idea how much shimming I w
may require. I did buy a set of each shims needed, in various gauges.
I did find one shim tool and bought it.
My question is, would anybody happen to have these shim tools and could give me the measurements/numbers off of them so I may check the needed shimming with a set of 12" calipers? Or, be willing to have the tools made and I pay for the copy and shipping?

Thank you in advance.
