A shim (60) is provided for repairing damage in a surface (65) of a mechanical piece at or near an outer edge of a bore (45) in the surface (65). The damage may penetrate a given distance within the surface and the bore (45) is in close proximity to an attachment hole (50). The shim (60) has a body (70) having a first side and a second side and a thickness therebetween that is equal to or greater than the depth of the damage penetrating the given distance and contiguous to the attachment opening, wherein the body (70) fits within an area (55) machined into an outer surface (65) surrounding the bore (45).
