| I just timed the brake using 3 shims to 0.045 and was wondering if 3 shims was too many? |

Thank you. I will remove a shim and torque it harder. Quoted:

I am assuming your barrel is threaded 1/2-28 and with 28 threads per inch that means each thread is .035" long. If your brake clocked at 355deg out in theory the maximum shim should be <.035 Thank you. I will remove a shim and torque it harder. There is nothing wrong with your current set up. If timed leave it alone. The instructions say torque within such and such range, and use the shims required. If there was a limit, it would say so. |

I had it timed with 2 shims at probably 0.035 but thought it might have been over torqued so I added the 0.008 shim. |
