I currently have 3 - .2mm shims there right now. It makes the mesh just right.

You will need at least 1.5mm CF wafer to act as a decent thrust bearing. If there is any way to run a narrower bearing there, you could add a thrust washer and that would most likely work.

If the design will allow for the bearings to be placed up against each other you may be able to make enough room for the cf washer. I have a pair of the hybrid diff cases at work, I will have to take one apart and see how it looks, even though Sike needs to dissassemble the diff again to replace the bearings.
