The 0.7mm shims are only good if the clutch plates are a bit worn, if they are still good it will lock it solid. I have a mate who used the 0.7mm shims and it did lock it solid, he is a machinist so he removed them and made some 0.3mm shims and it was better still functioned as an LSD on the road

How many different size shims can you get?
2010 TB4.8, 5 speed auto TI Wagon, Beaudesert ceramic coated Extractors and 2 1/2 inch exhaust, 3inch lift, BP-51 shocks, Black hawk radius arms and drop boxes, Road Runner Offroad billet alloy draglink, Boss air bags, 295/70/17 KM3s, Redarc Gauges, GME XRS UHF, Autometre fuel gauge, Alpine head unit with offroad maps, Carbon winch, Opposite lock bull bar, Light Force Strikers, Safari Snorkel, Duel long range tanks, work in progress.
I got some .55 mm ones from road runner off-road
So I was going to take out my rear diff and redo backlash as I think half a million k's would have some wear.
Anyway, how hard is it install a shim while it's out??
I do like the sound of a tighter lsd.

shimmed diff can work really nice but they dont stay tight for long if you give them a hard time.
