In the case of the 740 and other series the shims were metal, but now not only are the pads not supplied with shims, the only thing type available are stick on rubber pads. 1. Has anyone used these? 2. Did developers wind back enough to fit them and new pads? 3. Do they perform as well as metal ones? 4. What lubrication if any did you use on the rubber? 5. Had anyone found any new metal shims for a 740? I have heard of shims made with titanium but I guess the price is exorbinate. Thanks in advance of all comments, advice and assistance. Colin Hughes.
