Hi Peter
Are you sure that the angle of the taper is different and not just the length of the taper? If the angle is different I think we should ask Marlin to comment.
I think your copper shim should work OK (after all they use it for head gaskets) but I think you will have to be careful that it doesn't show - I am sure the MOT man wouldn't be happy...
It will be interesting to see what it looks like when it has all been clamped up and then undone again. If the tapers are different presumably the copper will be more squashed at one end than the other. Should be possible to measure with a micrometer I guess.
Cheers
Robin
