When building a z80 shim, choose a set of header pins for the legs you are plugging into the Z80 socet on the computer's motherboard that are thin (do not use the the standard type) otherwise the Z80 socket will be damaged. Take a look at the pictures of the shims to see what I mean. Solder these headers in first, because the Z80 socket you solder to the shim probably won't let you get access to the pin header once fitted. Make sure they are straight - I use a pair of small IDC connectors connector plugged into the pins and clamped in a vise to hold them straight during soldering, like this: {| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:Keeping shim legs straight.jpg|thumb|Using a vice and small IDC connector plug to keep the Z80 shim legs straight when soldering.]]|}
