Somebody asked about having shims made.  One way to do it if it's not 
too bad it to cut them out of aluminum, which only requires a drill bit 
and a cheap tin snip from Harbor Freight.  I made these for N56ML, 
"temporarily", and like a lot of things, they ended up doing 2825 
landings.  So they do work.  Each of these two in the enclosed picture 
is .020" thick, and I estimate that each is good for about .9 degrees of 
toe-in or -out, camber, or the combination when overlapping (as in the 
photo).  The dotted red line denotes useless material (based on wear 
marks) that I shouldn't have been carry around all those years.

You can probably pick up aluminum from some airport scraps, or buy a 
1'x1' piece from AS&S for cheap...but then there's shipping.  Make sure 
you clamp the piece to the table when drilling...this stuff is thin 
enough to cut you.  I almost lost a fingertip this way when I was in 
college...
