Mike ,
Try some feeler gauges to measure the gap front & rear .
I would not recommend to fit thin shims , Say .020 thick as they will probably break up over time .
I suggest the safety link is built up and machined to the exact size and the other side a new thicker shim made.
A bit of work but I assume you don't want to do it again in a few years.

Geoff
