Hello I’m installing the level wind and tensioner on my front winch and I believe there are supposed to be shims for the tensioner but I can’t seem to find any info on them, I’m sure I could make them but does anybody have a picture or thickness of the shims? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The problem is I can’t find a picture of the shims, I have about a 1/16” gap on each side of the tensioner, now I can make something but just wanted to try the OEM route first.
