re. Hydr&Solid Cams

You need to use some lash caps to make a hydraulic cam fit in the solid 
lifter head.  They install on top of the valve stems AFAIK.  Not sure where 
you get them from.

Hi all,
Last night I try to put cam from my Coupe Quattro (Hydr. lifters) into my 
200Ti (solid lifters KG engine).
It doesn't fit straight :(
Solid lifters cam is thicker than hydr lifters one. I mean that lobes and 
circles in there base are bigger on solid lifter cams.
There is about 2.5mm gap to be fill If I install Quattro cam in KG engine.
Is there a way to do this conversion? I think that I can try to put 
adjusting shims of about 2.5mm from peugeot (smaler in diameter than Audi 
ones) between lifter and valve in order to fill this gap.
