Metal packing shims

[joydivision]

I need some metal packing shims in various depths tomorrow. These will be used to pack some steel columns of a footing.
Would these need to be galv?

Also anyone know of any of the big merchants stock these?
Where else do you think I may find them? Steel fabricators or the like?

Cheers

Any sheetmetal works will have loads of offcuts you can use.

as rab said any welding shop will have them,rarely galvanised IME
we normally have 2mm 5 mm and 10mm to hand when doing any steel work

Yeah, that selection of sizes would be perfect.

I should be able to get hold of some if I go for a drive.

whoever is supply the steel may be able to bring some with them?

if the steel isn't galv i don't see that the shims need to be

[seanandruby]

no need for galv'. You will be grouting them up after? Maybe get some steel wedges to for straightening and lining up .
