Tym,
The shim is cast aluminum. It is 7 7/8" long and 2 " wide.
The shim is tapered. The bottom side is flat and the top side
has a step at the thick end. The thick end starts at 7/16" thick
and tapers to 11/32 at 2 1/16" from the thick end. At that point
the shim drops off to 7/32" thick and tapers to the 3/16" thin end.
A 3/4" hole is centered 1 3/16" from the thick end. A 7/32" revit hole
is centered 2 1/2" from the thick end. There is a flat countersink
5/8" id and 1/8" deep around the 7/32" hole on the top side of the
shim ( side with the step). A second revit hole with similar countersink
is centered 5 3/4" from thick end. A second 3/4" hole is centered
7 1/4" from thick end.
