Anyone on the better side of the pond know where I can source a valve shim tool?

Checked eBay and Amazon, plus a few parts sites and can't seem to find anyone selling a suitable one in the UK..

Bought one from Motion Pro way back but didn't like it so I went back to screwdrivers, changed a dozen shims without the Suzuki tool.

Ahh, interesting, I'll try it out with the screwdrivers first, might save me a couple of quid!

Thanks!

Yeah, I always did it by the two screwdrivers method and after getting along with it, it's piece of cake!
