Firstly, thank you! Your guess is exactly what they are, they adjust the CIM's C-C Distance from +0 thou to +50 to account for manufacturing tolerances. As for the shield, the one pictured was actually manufactured by one of our sponsors but we are in the process of making a rig to bend the plates. Once they are completed/anodized we will be replacing them with ours. (We are testing different curves for bending so that once the plate springs back from the bend it will be in the correct shape)
