Default anybody with a forge 007 shim it?

from what i have read it seems that the sooner the dv closes the better, if you read the great dv face off, one of the "winners" is the shimmed forge 007. anybody try shimming? they recommend two 2.5mm washers equaling 5mm total shim width. not that the small weight difference would possibly matter but i was considering making the shims out of aluminum, a bit lighter than a steel washer. i have way too much time on my hands.

Default Yup. 3mm aluminum shim. Interesting they suggest 5mm. I guess I should try that.

I can't really tell. I'd like to think it makes a difference. Maybe 5mm is more noticeable.
