I,m sure you could make some up from some thin shim material,steel or stainless as long as you know the shape of them,a metal supplier should be able to help.I think the Z1B uses the same pads as the Z1A one of which has two pins on the back of the pad which locates the anti squeal shim in place,a lot of pattern pads do not have these pins fitted. This would then cause a problem when trying to fit the shims,are genuine (ie with pins) pads still available? :?: :D
