Precision Shimming with XRAY 301159-O

If fine tolerances matter, the XRAY 301159-O Aluminum Countersunk Shim set is a useful kit to carry. The orange anodised aluminium shims offer a compact way to tidy up screw heads and adjust small gaps across assemblies.

Flush Seating for Cleaner Assembly

These countersunk shims let screw heads sit flush with surfaces, reducing raised areas that can snag or disturb airflow. Their low mass helps maintain your model's responsiveness while enabling precise tweaks.

Applications and Practical Tips

From subtle suspension corrections to aligning body mounts, these shims cover common tuning needs. Keep them organised by size in your parts tray for quick access during setup or repairs.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will these shims affect handling or balance?

Used sparingly, the shims are extremely light and should not change handling. They are intended for small adjustments rather than major weight changes, so distribute them evenly if used on both sides of a setup.

How durable is the orange finish?

The coloured anodised finish is generally robust for normal hobby use, but heavy abrasion or repeated friction may wear it over time. Inspect after rough use and replace if appearance or seating is affected.

Should I pair these with lock washers or threadlock?

Depending on the assembly, use suitable locking methods recommended for your screws and materials. For delicate plastics, consider lower-strength threadlock or mechanical locking to avoid stress on the part.

Can I cut or modify these shims if needed?

Aluminium can be trimmed carefully if you have the right tools, but altering the shim may affect seating. If you need a non-standard shape, test on a spare to ensure the modified shim still sits flush and holds under load.

How should I store spare shims?

Keep shims in a small parts container or labelled compartment to avoid mix-ups. Organising by location or thickness helps when you need the same shim again during setup adjustments.
