Re:
id be surprised cos 30.0 isnt really a standard size, and shims are usually for unusual outer diams, not inner
i would think your best bet is get hold of some 0.9mm sheet metal and bodge it round somehow. kind of how ppl use a cut up can to go from 27.0 to 27.2. 0.9mm should be flexible enough and easy to cut, depends what metal you use, probably need 90-100mm long and pi30.9 minus a little bit for the clamp, 95mm?
something like this

but bare in mind ive never done that so if it doesnt work dont sue me. hey what can go wrong?

Re: Re:
That would give a shimmed size of 31.8mm.
You'd need 0.45mm thickness material to create a shim that would increase diameter by 0.9mm.
