    I can supply from the UK if you can't get them locally.

    I'm in search of longer vipec screws to mount some toe shims, any ideas where other than getting some stainless oval tapping screws and grinding them to length?

    Details from Skimo.co for what I need but they don't sell.

    Vipec / Tecton Shims, 4.7mm - Medium-est rise for Vipec toes. It also works with the Tecton. No drill holes. 20.3mm Pan screw is needed.

    Vipec / Tecton Shims, 6.4mm - Stack it up under the Vipec and you'll be close to flat. No drill holes. 22mm Pan screw is needed.

    Saw that too, and found that Tognar had a better/closer match in screw lengths that might work?

    Just looked, close in terms of length but Vipec toes needs a pan head screw. Might have to insert and use M5 lowheads, I've got a mess of them from past swap plate setups.

    It can be frustrating when you have a specific need and can't find a solution easily. If you're looking for an alternative to grinding down stainless oval tapping screws, you might want to consider angle brackets as an option. I found a website called scrooz.com.au that offers a wide range of angle brackets that may work for your needs. They also have a variety of screws that you can choose from, which may be easier than grinding your own screws to the desired length. They come in a variety of sizes and can be a great solution for mounting shims.
