Have you tried a Hardware Store?
When my youngest son worked at the Hardware Store, I asked him if he had any small s.s. washers that would work as bearing shims.
He was able to find a couple for me that were the perfect size and thickness.

As to one other member helped me with these St/St shims I will forward that help onto another.

These are off eBay and they're "PERFECT"...

See the picture for further information about the seller etc.

Hope it helps.
