Re: cylinder shims
That's not it Eric, you showed him head shims for the TD .010
He is looking for timing shims for the cylinder.
From crankcase to cylinder threads to change the seating height.
They are not in stock anywhere.
You can use .09 head gasket shims for cylinder shims with the .049 - .051
.049 for .020
.020 for .010
The .074 may fit the .049 just have to try.

Re: cylinder shims
I have made my own, since I no longer can get them from Kustom Kraftsmanship.
Making my own I can get the timing exact with many different brass shims.
https://www.coxengineforum.com/t13945-shimming-cox-cylinder-for-transfer-and-exhaust-timing?highlight=timing+shims
Kustom Kraftsmanship had a kit for shimmng the cylinder height for timing.
I still have "one" kit that is still new in the original package (that is where the instructions came from).
Instructions from kit:
Shims:
starting top left - brass holder to help get the shim on the bottom of the cylinder.
Then there are two shims that are .003" and two that are .005" thick.

The shims I will mail you are NOT the KK kit...these came from Bernie at Cox International
Envelop with three progressively thicker shims to mix and match
No shim holder like the kit

You can glue a thin copper plate to a wooden plate with water-soluble glue and cut out the washers with a circular cutter. Then remove the washers with water.
