Door shims

[68goldrunner]

Hello everyone,

So I bagged and tagged all parts for my 68 Road Runner during disassembly. Unfortunately I can now not find the bag containing the door hinge shims and bolts. I've been looking online for replacement shims and bolts however I can't find any. AMD doesn't seem to make them either. Does anyone know where I can find some reproduction bolts and door hinge shims?

Thank you.

Don't recall ever seeing hinge shims and I've parted plenty of cars since the 70's. There are door striker shims though....

Here are the bolts and like Cranky said, I've never seen hinge shims either.

The only shims I can think of are behind the strike plate.

I found that one of these kits helped get all sorts of things back in line again.

Thank you all for your responses. My Road Runner had an old restoration before I acquired it and I'm sure some of the reassembly was incorrect. I have no doubt with all the knowledge on this forum I'll be able to properly reassemble my car. Right now I'm finishing up all the metal work. My car didn't have much rust but man somebody smothered it in bondo! I'll have to get pictures up...once I figure that out.

I don't get much from Harbor Freight, BUT the shim kit is hard to beat. I think I have 2 kits now. this is what most people use for fenders and door hinges.

do not use shims on your doors, they are adjustable.

Now that I know my car didn't come stock with door hinge shims I'm curious. If the doors are adjustable...how so? Why could shim kits not be used? I appreciate all opinions, not trying to start an argument. Thanks.

the hinges are adjustable where they bolt on to the car & door
