Spoke to supertech. They are selling me new shims and having me return the old ones. Not sure why I'm still paying for their **** up, but whatever. I think I should be able to get them by Friday.

What an incredibly exciting process
Currently at like 2 minutes per thou. Should have a coarse stone coming in tomorrow to help knock more metal off quickly.
I think I still have a shot at starting this weekend if supertech gets me the new shims by Friday.

I have a question on the braided nylon lines. How do get the hose end fitting on the hose after you cut it?
This is what i tried- wrap masking tape tightly around hose where im going to make my cut. I cut the hose with vibrant hose cutters. Perfect cut. I peel the tape off to put the first half of the fitting on, and it pulls all the nylon apart and im left with a tangled mess of frayed nylon

Hmmm. I'm not sure exactly what you mean. The outer bit slides over the hose and you push it all the way in. Then you screw the fitting into the outer bit. If that makes sense lol.

Edit: I cut mine the same way as Aidan, tape and abrasive cutoff wheel

Supertech is sending new shims. Covering shipping both ways. Very responsive and helpful. Its a bummer that they got screwed up in the first place, but mistakes happen.

^this. Those suckers are snug. (redhorse fittings)
When I made my oil cooler lines, I used electrical tape then made a cut, then just cut tape around the hose maybe 1/8" back from the end and pull the tape off the end. I'd then start the fitting, and once it was started, I'd take the rest of the tape off.
