Tape is a very temporary solution. If you can work out the amount of slop and shim as required while leaving enough room for it not to bind up. I good pair of verniers are handy, digital even better because many shim materials aren't precisely as stated. I'm not sure where to buy shim brass now, probably eBay.
Remember, shim brass wrapped right around is twice the thickness of the material added to the diameter.
I know that sounds silly but I've known some very smart people who have forgotten such a simple fact.
Some of these small scopes with minor tune ups end up being quite handy scopes.
