I opened a Nammer once and it had and about 5 shims in, some made from Coke tins
Been there, done that

Interesting debate though
They may be old technology but theres no reason you can't build one like a motoGP bike.

I had an Indian series 2 once, with a 22 mil carb on an 18 mil manifold. Yep, it was adapted to fit with a Coke can. Auto production in India and the Far East would grind to a halt if Coca Cola went bust.

With my 40 year old plus shopping bike putting out around 30 hp, I'd want to build mine as close to MotoGP spec as possible. It's not 200 hp so I doubt it would need 6 builds a year.
