Where to buy shims???

Like the title, I have no idea where to purchase shims for the TO bearing. I would like to put one in while the tranny is out. I guess SPEC makes some, but I just can't seem to find them. Thanks!

Yes, .150" is awfully thick. How does a paper shim work? I'd expect it to deteriorate over time.

I have a SPEC metal shim laying around if you're interested.
