LS430 Youzealand Pro SS Kit Rear shim/spacer wanted
Ok so here is a long story that I am gonna shorten up a lot.
Countless losses on used Youzealand kits, I have finally purchased one that came with most parts that I need to get the swap finished. The only part that I dont have is the shims for the rear that goes on the upper rear shock. Idk if someone has measured the shim or maybe even have some laying around or a way that I could make a couple. If you could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. I really dont want to have to buy a new rear kit.

So I think I may have found some usful information that I plan on working with and just making a set of my own. Basically the Shim / Washer that is used in this system is a 2mm washer is cut to slide under the bolt in between the collar and the rear panel. So my plan is to go to a local hardware store and see if I can locate a 2mm thick washer (not sure of the bolt size yet, just purchasing a lot of them; I would think its around a 10mm). Also, Lowes sells weatherproof stripping for windows that is basically the same thing as what they are using. Basically its just a double sided thick weatherproof adhesive tape. The washer fits on the outer most bolt, and the weatherproof taping is to close the gap that the shim creates between the collar and the rear panel.
Here is the weather stripping I am planning on using.

I will let you know how my project goes this weekend! Thanks
