Crank shaft shims

Would any one know where I could source shims for the 16v sprint engine?
I placed a straight edge on that and the idler bar sprocket and I’m not happy.

If these are the shims that determine the alignment of the crank / jackshaft sprockets try
145275 ( 4 thou) and 145276 ( 6 thou ). They are a common Triumph part compatible with 1300 / 1500 / 1850 as well.
Try ....

Thanks Tony’s, fortunately I had another crank lying around which I pinched a couple of shins off and is aligned nicely now
