NM WTB: Shims (spacers?) for the brass door align wedges on the pillars - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DeadheadNM** · 04-22-2016, 10:29 AM

After a set of OEM shims (spacers?) for the brass door alignment wedges that are affixed to the door pillars. Will buy single examples or complete set. Thanks. Pete

Pete, don't hold out for it but once I get my doors hung if I have spares I will let you know. It will be a while though.

jobrla · 04-22-2016, 06:18 PM

I think I have 2 left over from hanging my doors, you can have them

jobrla · 04-22-2016, 06:23 PM

Pete, sorry, just checked and only have one, it is yours, PM me with address and will send

**DeadheadNM** · 04-22-2016, 06:30 PM

Thanks guys! Sending PM. Jeff - please keep me in mind. Will keep chasing one more in the meanwhile.

**davischevy** · 04-23-2016, 10:12 AM

I may have one or two but it will be Monday before I can look.

**DeadheadNM** · 04-23-2016, 01:17 PM

Please do and thanks for your help.

**davischevy** · 05-02-2016, 09:02 PM

I looked today and didn't come up with anything. I will keep an eye open.

**DeadheadNM** · 05-03-2016, 12:55 AM

Thanks for the follow-up and I appreciate the effort. Jobrla set me up with one, after one other. Thanks guys!

**davischevy** · 05-03-2016, 02:01 PM

Do you have all you need?

**A1971Blazer** · 05-03-2016, 02:48 PM

what's the spec on those wedges? Mine aren't even close to making contact.

**richard2717** · 05-03-2016, 03:41 PM

I saved this website a while back. I have not bought any but they appear to be the same as the Blazer ones.

**DeadheadNM** · 05-03-2016, 05:21 PM

In need of one more OEM example. One down one to go. Richard I'll check that thanks.

EDIT - Dang those look identical. I don't need a set but good for someone who does if dimensions are same. Thanks for sharing.

I have this part from opgi. I bought it a while back when another posted about them.
Be aware the brass piece is the same dimension but the silver piece that screws to the door is not. It is smaller overall and the hole pitch is smaller. You could probably make them work if you couldn't find oem but for sure new holes would be required on the door side.
These would be ok if you just needed to replace the brass piece that is the part that wears.
One last item, the included shims are about 1/2 the thickness of the oem ones.

Bottom line is they could work but not an exact replacement.
