I bought a B200E with the steering box completly dis assembled and the shim was missing. I am now trying to order parts to repair it. There is a shim located between the gear box and the post steering tube that I need to order but I am not sure which shim to order or how to determine which shim I need. Here are the part numbers:
66811-41320
66811-41340
66811-41350
66811-41360

Can someone assist me in determining which shim I need and what the diffrent thicknesses are? Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks!

I can't help with the part numbers. When I needed a shim this winter on a B7100, I scanned one of the metal shims then printed it out on different thickness of card stock. Cut out the paper and assembled it. I tried the different thickness until I found what worked with the correct amount of preload on the bearing.
