What is Shims?
A shim is a spacer that holds things apart. Many commercially available shims are designed for a specific purpose, such as for holding a starter motor the necessary distance from the engine block, and as such those shims are produced in varying thicknesses. As one might guess, a "shim plate" would be a flat spacer that covers a little larger area.

what is the height of a stack of 13 of these steel shims. if you have a rectangle at 1.27cm?
To determine the height of a stack of 13 steel shims given a rectangular shape with a thickness of 1.27 cm, we need to calculate the total height by multiplying the thickness by the number of shims in the stack. Height of one shim = 1.27 cm Number of shims = 13 Total height = Height of one shim * Number of shims = 1.27 cm * 13 = 16.51 cm Therefore, the height of a stack of 13 steel shims, each with a rectangular shape of 1.27 cm thickness, is 16.51 cm.

Do you need shims when replacing starter on a 1996 Isuzu trooper?
If it has shims now and you buy an OEM replacement starter, then use the shims. If it does not have shims then you will not need them. Replace the starter with an exactly duplicate, installed exactly as the original. If in doubt measure the distance from the mounting plate face to the end of the drive gear shaft and make sure that distance in the same on the replacement starter.
