As far as I know, there is no 'Replacement Kit' for these. Strange being that they are a wear part. I know that some have found other DIY methods of taking care of this. But I am wondering if there is much interest in a Plug & Play set. I am hoping to get material that will allow me to offer a lifetime warranty on them. I am working on this now.
Spoke with both BRP and local dealer and no luck with this endeavor on shims....thank you Ron!
My Can-Am dealer is saying the same thing. Very odd. But it may indicate that there just isn't much call for this item. Still, I am going to make a few sets and see if I can get some Test Pilots to run then and see where it goes.
FWIW, those are not actually a wear item per say. Functionally they protect the painted surfaces from scratching. There is no movement to create true wear. If they are missing, the bond adhesive failed and the pads simply fell off.

I was thinking the same thing. But my dealer was really no help. People call them a 'Wear Item', and the set I have looks like it's been rubbing. But I don't really see how they would wear out. I suppose they come out while traveling? Still, I'm not sure why you can't purchase a set from BRP. But it appears that your only choices right now are to purchase the entire hitch, or make them yourself. Not sure it's a product that many would want. But it won't take all that much for me to get a few made.
Took a few minutes to do a preliminary drawing in AutoCad of these shim pads. Dimension were based off pencil rubs from a member here. Should be very close, but have not yet verified them as 100% accurate to those installed on our hitch.
Material thickness measured as 1/16" by the provider of the pencil rubs, but should be verified also.
Very simple part to produce by hand or on automated equipment. Automated would be maybe 1 minute to cut all 6 shims from the very inexpensive sheet thermoplastic material.
