Are these not a "on the shelf" product, or is everyone just out of stock on them? It seems all of the regular parts houses have .010 - .060" and then its skips .070 and .080 and goes to .090".
I saw Rimco (and I think Berg) can do custom ground shims, but for $125, I may just stack a .020 and .050.

Stack .030 and .040 empi shims
The thicker the shim the worse it shears
