Brake pad shims?

Anyone have a source for the tapered/Half pad shims that load the trailing end of the pad??
The VW will taper the pad and these shims should reduce that. Just I never have seen them for the VW.
TIA, MM

If not, I will make a pile of them.
 
looking at the caliper on the car. It occurs to me that maybe I can make some "permanent shims". By a little mill work on the piston and pad area of the caliper. This may also give some pad retraction..
 
any chance the slider pins/bores on the calipers are worn beyond useable service?
I haven't tracked too many single-piston calipers, but our LeMons Miata never has a problem with pad taper..
my wilwood dynalites were bad about it, but I would just rotate the pads every ~4hrs of track time and they would wear evenly.

for a Chump race, just flipe them at the end of each race day and voila. ???
