Default Cam Shims Needed Where to get a kit

Where can I find a place to just sell me the kit. Not sure what I need but I want them around as I will be doing a couple sets of cams this winter. I know I saw a place at one point but I am at a loss and am tired of talking to google.
Thanks

The TC88 kit is about $17 when switching to the hydraulic tensioners. The TC96 kit is about $8

Question....
When changing a TC-88 motor from spring followers to TC-96 hydraulic followers/cam plate, which set of shims would you use?

Thanks Dawg for the straight skinny on the shim part numbers.
Got it in my notes for this winter's projects.

what shims do you use if you already have hydraulic chain tensioner on your bike and you are just changing the cams. Is there a kit for that or it is the same as 25285-08. My parts book for my 08 FLH is indicating different part number for each shim. The insructions for spacer kit do not say anything for the hydraulic cam chain tensioner
