Marzocchi Bomber Steerer Shim

I've obtained a set of Marzocchi Bomber Z2's with a 1 1/4" steerer and thinking about converting to 1 1/8". Is there an appropriate lipped shim that can fit in the crown? There are similar ones for Pace so seems to be a reasonable solution. There are also lipped shims online that might do the job though if there's a designated Marzocchi one, would consider that. Seems to be about 33 to 30 mm.
 
As far as I aware there isn’t anything available unless you get something made up.

Theres been a pair of Z2s on eBay cheap for ages with a 1 1/4 for this reason.

Likely easier to source a crown/ steerer
 
Two things... 1) I wasn't aware Marzocchi made 11/4 Bombers and 2) I'm surprised that the crown is unique. Surely it just needs a different sized steerer?

I have another set of Z2s with a 1 1/8" steerer and while not bolted in place, you can see the hole where the steerer sits is considerably smaller.

Yes, there where shims on the market 1 1/8" -> 1 1/4". I think mine are out, sorry.

I can help out with a Bombers crown.
