F&F has the hardened ones?! Shoot, I just had a couple of guys tell me that F&F was the last holdout for "soft" guards. Figures. My shims were made from leftover chimney flashing. F&F should have that in stock & not very expensive. I'm pretty sure the strips I cut were 1/2" x 3". If you find the knives to be tight after shimming, you may have to flip the wear plates (under the clips) over so the flange is pushing on the back of the knives themselves instead of the bar they're rivited to.
I still recommend finding originals, when you get time. Usually, all they need are new ledger plates. I'm slowly changing all of mine over to those as I find them. Ever so much easier to work with. Either way, if you have sharp knives & plates, knives are at the front of the guards, minimal clearence between knife & plate & everythings in register, you should be able to darn near cut lawn with it. I know I have. Not for the purpose of cutting the lawn with it mind you, just to see if it could & it does. If you have any more knife issues, give a holler on the grapevine here.
