Obviously you need to measure clearances to figure out which one you need.

'Morbo28" Not that shim. It goes on where the oil holes are, where the oil seal runs.

More than half the primary gears I've seen out there are missing that oil slinger. These days with decent seals they work fine without it.

Edit
The black Rover MPI seal allegedly seals better according to one Mini repairer (not GR) I know.
I've not had one leak either.
