As I recall, shims come in sets of various thicknesses and are used to set the tooth contact of the ring and pinion. Acquiring only one doesn't seem very useful.

Assuming this is the same part, I was able to find it at RossSport.com. Not the part highlighted in yellow, the part labeled (D).

Hope this helps.

Assuming you cracked one or something? Just make sure to replace it with a shim of the same thickness and you'll be good to go. That Ross Sport link is the right part. Good find.

Bought a used rear diff with missing internal parts, and spacer is one of them. Trying to build it myself for my spare.
