How do these look.... 9 inch .015 pinion shim, .085 backlash.. I could not get the camera and light to cooperate very well.. I was going to try a a thinner pinion shim? I have a 013, 011, and an 008.....

My "book" shows multiple patterns and what to do.. The closest pic I see says too thick a pinion shim.. Looking for any help or suggestions on it too......
