Need to Level Things Out (To Install TTI Exhaust System)?
The shim company does not recommend their plastic product for motor mount shimming. It's OK for now while we are just testing the waters but I will need to make up a 1/4" steel shim in the near future just to be safe. Message I received:
"Our shims are molded from a high impact styrene resin and I am not sure they are a good fit for motor mount shimming. The static loads would not be a problem, however the dynamic loads during operation are unknown to me and may exceed the 8,000 psi elastic limit and as such cause permanent deformation.
You may be able to find an alternative shim typically made from carbon steel. Typical carbon steel values for the elastic limit would be in the range of 25,000 to 30,000 psi."
