I wouldn't trust the normal ABS wire-filament type stuff, but nylon (often glass-filled) is often used for parts bathing in hot oil.
Nylon (with glass spheres even) can be printed using selective laser sintering.
SLS parts can be nice enough that I think I'd be willing to try that route.
A 3D-printing shop that does SLS could probably do this part for less than $100 or so.
The disc is a loose fit IIRC, so there are no fancy tolerances needed. It's quite flat too, so I think the part is a good fit for SLS nylon.[This message has been edited by pmbrunelle (edited 05-10-2021).]

Well I need the 1.8 mm shim but there isn't one listed on for the Chrysler PNs and the GM ones are discontinued it looks like. I ordered the next closest 1.58mm from a Mopar parts site and they got back to me a couple days later and said they are discontinued. Saw mitsubishi has the same part number so i ordered one from on of their site and they cancelled and said that no one has them anywhere in the US. Guess i will keep looking.

If the shim you need is thinner than the one you have, you can have your existing one ground thinner.
Otherwise, buy a thicker shim and grind that, or even something like a custom laser-cut steel ring that's ground on both sides.

I think the ones I ordered on ebay should work. With feeler gauges I measured 1.9mm gap on the tool and was going to go down one size to 1.8 like the instructions said but I also have read some people set it up for 0 end play so I think 1.9mm should be ok.
