If you have a friendly local shop you can sometimes "trade" shims, they don't really wear so you can swap them out quite easily.

Re: Where to buy shims?
wemoto. youll need to know the numbers from the ones currently fitted to work out using the clearance tables what the new numbered ones you will need if you want to buy them individually. You may need 8 shims max but remember you could measure it and find they are all within spec and need none therefore youve just spent all that dosh buying a kit when its not needed.
