The shim is only about 1/16", .060", but look the engine cases at the pawl, its not flat and the plastic starter housing will only touch in the corners where the bolts hold it on, or easy to break. If you look at my scooter engine it also has a metal outer protection too, it goes on before the bolts are put in, cause on a scooter that hits the ground first, lol.
Anyway, go to pocketbikeparts on the east coast or scooterparts4less on the west coast. Look under X7- mid/super bikes parts. They should have all three parts you need.
