After a P90 dogear spacer for a Harley benton dc , prices with postage are £16 or £25 anyone made there own ? Or a cheaper supplier ?

Get the £16 set from @OilCityPickups. ; They fit nicely.

  The all parts ones are oversized.  They can be trimmed back, but save yourself some time

I have a single 2mm P90 spacer in my bits drawer. You are welcome to it if it's useful to you. PM me your address and I'll put it in the post.

Realise you're sorted but for future readers of this thread I did a passable job on my Casino with some mouse mat foam just cup with scissors (IIRC).

That's what I was planning to use on my HB Junior - thanks for letting me know it works (and I suspect it may also be slightly adjustable, too).

Sickeningly (like you I've got a Harley Benton so didn't want to spend too much!), I noticed this after I bought the £20 Lollar ones, but AxesRUs has a sponge version for a couple of quid. I think I struggled to find it because it was in a weird section (the Casinos?) rather than the P90 dogear section.

No idea whether it works as well as the shims, as I haven't tried it. I suspect it may look a little less elegant, but it also may allow for a little bit of height adjustment, unlike the shims. (I mean angled adjustment, I realise you just use the right height/number of shim(s) to get height adjustment with the shims!)

EDIT: I posted this before I noticed @JezWynd 's very kind offer. That's a better idea, obviously. I'll leave my post up in case it helps anyone else.

I discovered that in the boxes for cheap mini sized pedals the foam at the bottom of the box is just the right thickness and hardness to work for a dogear shim, and it's thin enough to double up or for half a shim if applying an angle to the pickup.  I cut out my shim from the foam then cut a corresponding one from the black plastic side of a DVD case, and glued the foam to the plastic for added rigidity and to gain just the right height.

I have to say though that for the money the Oil City Pickups shims are nice and neat, perfectly laser cut, and a very useful thickness.  I have only bought one set in the past but I really need a couple more.

As a piece of complete trivia ... I've sold in excess of 1000 of those shims ... which all came from me needing to shim up my own SG Junior, and wondering if anyone else thought the Allparts 'doormats' were awful!  :-)
