# 859917 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta shim from the Engine group, catalogued at 0.108 inch thick and listed for 9 applications across the TMD, MS, TAMD and MD engine series. It is one thousandth of an inch below 859916 at 0.109 inch, and the next part number, 859918, returns to millimetre marking at 2.72 mm. This is the finest step anywhere in this run, so a micrometer set to the marked units is essential.

-   Shim face polished bright or dished
-   Thickness reading under the published figure
