Default Where can i find .125 or 1/8 in torque convertor shims in 3/8

I have my SS3600 yank convertor installed unfortunantly i have a 1/4 gap between the torque convertor pad and flexplate. According to Dave at yank it needs to be between MIN 3/32 and 3/16 MAX. I found shim kits from Hughes and Miezere but both are .125 (which I need) but the center hole is eith 7/16 ir 1/2 in. Has anyone found 3/8 which is needed in a .125 or 1/8. I went to all local hardware stores and found several washers but everything I have found in 3/8 or M10 is only 1/16 in thick.

Should I just order the .125 Meizere or Hughes with the 7/16 hole or what. got all the hard **** done now waiting on this BS. Also I am guessing the bolts that came from yank will be to damn short should I use the stock one or ?. I wish this damn thing would of just fit dead on so I could be done but not my luck......

I've had 2 converters and have always used new GM converter bolts. Never heard the installer say he had to use shims.
