In all these years, I never knew that...why the hell did I not know brass shim stock can be found at an auto parts store? Thanks!!

I always got mine at "Hobby Shops", places that are full of scale models, or RC type toys.

Brownell's will sell you a small assortment of steel shim stock if you want the shim to extend to the edges of the base - no gaps - and you don't want to show a line of brass or aluminum. (I know, fussy fussy.) Maybe auto parts stores have this too?
