C11 Fork mount

Hello,
I have a vintage C11 orange tube with fork mount, wedge and heavy duty tripod. Lately, I've been unhappy with the slop that has developed over in the dec arms. The play seems to be coming from the tangent arms on both sides as it rocks in the fork even though the allen bolts are tight. Is there any way to shim the arms to remove this play?
Thanks,
Kevin Ireland
