+1 on the shim fitting (except it took me 3 or 4 tries). I didn't see the
shim kit included in the sale items for the brace, however. It will not work
correctly without being shimmed. Well worth the effort though. To whomever
purchases it, email Murph and I'm sure he'd be glad to send along another
set of shims.
