Shim, Timing Gear – 0. 008 in, Kinney, KMBD Booster, KMBD1600, KMBD850, Part# 440038 – vacstellar

Description

This shim is a Kinney part made specifically for KMBD booster models KMBD1600 and KMBD850. It fits directly onto the shaft behind the timing gear. During a rebuild, you might need to measure the gear backlash and select the right shim to get it within specification. If you are replacing worn gears or doing a full overhaul, having a selection of shims on hand is a good idea. This 0.008‑inch shim is one of the common sizes used to fine‑tune the assembly. Using Kinney shims like this one ensures consistent thickness and durability. It’s a small part that plays a huge role in keeping your vacuum pump reliable.
