I have actually seen pieces of feeler gauges used under bucket shims. No idea how long they lasted. Dogsbody

Measure shim and I can almost certainly say I will have in stock and will post !

Or extend the valve stem with weld and grind to length. Not something I've tried mind, just a two minute application.

Under the bucket shim maybe ,i'd be a little cautious with over the bucket type.
I remember a Suzuki GS850 with a shim in/through the cam cover coming into the workshop in the early 90's
Found some feeler gauge type stuff wrapped around the camshaft.
I guess it depends on how much of a lip is on the bucket and how much you lift the shim by.

Cut out a spacer by stacking some gearbox washers (figured they'd be a bit sturdier than peanut tin), and so far so good. Nice and quiet too.
