Default Pontiac Fender Shims

Does anyone know of a source for the correct Pontiac-style fender shims as pictured below? It seems you generally have to buy a complete bolt set. Can the shims be sourced alone?

This picture is out of the Inline Tube catalog.

Why not buy the set? $24.50 is not a huge cost if you want originality.

Yep, that's Plan A. Not having done body work before, I wasn't sure if these shims were rather generic and readily available otherwise. All I knew is that they look like the ones already on the car (presumably from the factory). Thanks!

Not sure what type of rebuild or if it matters but I bought a complete set close 100 shims at advance for cheap money an they worked great. All different sizes and thickness . I'm sure any auto store sell them ( Napa,autozone, harbor freight) why pay any more. Doug
