Simon, thank you for the help! You have been a real life saver for me on this.

Looks like I am back to rebuilding shims! Can't say I'm excited to make more shims, but I'm glad I got an answer on this before gluing anything together. Hopefully this next round will go smoothly and I'll get a perfect fit.

Once again, thank you Simon!
