i have a s2 federal so in imperial it’s the dimensions JB wrote
what do mean by outer and inner ?
the only shims i knew about were the one close to the transmission to adjust so it doesn’t move when  roll pins are put in
am i missing something

The 37mm o/d - 26mm i/d shims I ordered have arrived, they are a perfect fit.
