Default Installing 918 Springs, Installed height is wrong, where to get .015 shims?

I need 15 thousandths shims to install these 918 springs on my CNC heads.

I installed them , put the valve spring checker on, and it showed i need that shim.

Where do you get this shim? I called everywhere and they want the OD of the valve pocket and valve guide etc and i dont have that info.

Problem solved, I must give a plug to Thunder Racing. I called and they gave me to the owner of the shop Jeff, Very very helpful and he explained to me the installed height i need to be near. He also carries the shims for LS1's in case you need them.

Thanks Thunder.
