Thrust Washer / Shim Kit?
Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some various sized thrust washers or a shim kit for my 4cyl 3rds? Tired of the yoter sitting in the garage up on jack stands taking up space, with my aussie lockers install still half way done after a month now... Stealership round here very unhelpful and gave me some bs that they'll have to be boated from japan, so I'd just as soon order them online or what have you.
Tried using the the stock ones, but I only got .002" whereas it calls for .006~.020" of tolerance. So anyhow, where can I get some thrust washers?

Yeah, I know they're supposedly a dealer only item, but I REALLY don't wanna wait another month or two to be boated from japan. The stock ones I have are .068", so I would need a shim between .064-.050", though Ideally I'd prefer to have about .010" of clearance, so a .060" shim would probably be perfect.

Though actually, come to think of it, I do have a friend that left for japan yesterday to go shopping for parts for his EVO, so if anyone happens to know the part numbers for those thrust washers, I could probably have him pick them up and bring them back to me before the week ends...

Seriously, though. I know I always ask for everything back from gears/engine/trans build from the mechanics and sometimes they just give me stuff because they have tons of it laying around.
... nevermind.

Well I've asked a couple friends who own offroad shops, they don't have any. I've asked my buddy who owns a gear shop, he doesn't have any. I've asked 4wheelparts, they don't have any. I've asked the toyota dealership, they don't have any. Running out of local places to try...
I still got a tranny shop to hassle, but it's a matter of finding time off of work during their operating hours to check it out. Hard to do when I'm out of town 4 days a week...
It's like some giant conspiracy to keep me from getting my lockers installed. I just KNEW I shoulda lincoln locked em like I always did before...
