Hi all.
I'm doing valves clearance on my speed six Cerbera and, even if I bought a shims kit from Motaclan, I don't have some size which I urgently need cause my car' engine is open.
BUT I'm writing from Italy....
So the question is: from what engine/car comes or are used speed six tappets???
I could order again from UK but I unfortunately don't have all this time...

As the Speed 6 engine was designed and manufactured by TVR, it wouldn’t surprise me if the shims were bespoke and only available from Motoclan or other TVR specialists. I would have thought that any specialist worth his salt would be able to expedite express delivery for a fee. Have you tried Powers Performance?

But the KTM shims also end at about 3 mm. If you need more you will just get them separate in GB. I had the same problem with the Shim kit and had to order some separate shims in GB. Good luck.
