Shims for Shimano reel handle knobs
Shims for Shimano reel handle knobs
Where do you guys order your shims for shimano reel handles? I know they would be 4mm ID x 7mm OD but unsure about the thickness. I'd like to order several to remove the play in my knobs on a few reels. Might purchase some locally if I can find them with the proper size and thickness.

If you have a hobby shop near you they can probably hook you up.
If not, Amainhobbies.com usually has a good selection.

If you get them, try using the thinner shim and cup it over a screwdriver. When it goes in it creates a preload and avoids any further side to side movement with wear.
I know some washers sizes and reels you can't ever find that sweet spot - even backing off screws and locking them in is the only way.
