Add up all the shims lengths that you know of right now

.75 + .125 + .09 = ?

That equals .965

The fourth shim is how ever many more centimeter until 1.2


To find this out... subtract

1.2 - .965

Your answer to this equation would be the length of the fourth shim.

1.2 - .965 = .235


The fourth shim is .235 centimeters long :)
