Re: [Chrysler300] Shim Pack for '63-'64 300 Rear Axle

["Mark Lindahl" <mplindahl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bob and All,

I purchased the last four of the 0.005 thick shims from a Chrysler dealer in Nebraska.
I can sell them to whoever needs them.  I need to keep one extra as a sample.

Here is dealer that has either 5 mil or 30 mil thick shims.  The 12 mil may not be available.
Dealer in Conneticut    Phone 866-287-2785   I think he said $8.85 for the 5 mil shim.

The gasket seems to be a retrofit starting in 1964 and can be used with the shims.
I am not sure why the gasket was added, but it does not appear in my '63 parts book.
The original syrofoam gasket may have been replaced by FelPro with the conventional gasket material.

I still am investigating having more of these shims made and I would like to get an idea on how many to make.

Regards,
Mark Lindahl

P.S.  PartsVoice is a website for locating old Chrysler parts at various dealers/resellers in the US.
It requires everyone to log on using a password, but you can enter original Chrysler part numbers and get stocking dealers.
www.partsvoice.com   I believe you can sell your extra parts using this website too.

  Dear list,

  Please hit "Reply All" with responses to this question.  Many questions get answered to only one person, and the rest of us don't benefit from the knowledge shared.  I've had this same question, but on my G.  Is the only place shims are available is from parts cars?  What about the gasket?

  Hi Again,

  The Service Manual does not mention any Axle flange gasket, but Napa and AutoZone show a gasket. Neither show shims are still available.
  http://www.autozone.com/R,125776/vehicleId,1829601/initialAction,partProductDetail/store,2567/partType,01948/shopping/partProductDetail.htm

  Can anyone tell me if the gasket came along later, perhaps as a fix? Or maybe this was used on 1965 and up?
  If the gasket is used, then the steel shims would be affected for the 0.013-0.018 inch axle end play.
  Any advice is welcome. My 300 is apart at the mechanic and he does not know whether to use the gasket along with the shims.

  Regards,
  Mark Lindahl

  Hi All,

  Does anyone know how to obtain the following shims for the rear axle, '63-'64 300?
  I assume that a combination of these are used to get the correct 0.013-0.018 in. axle shaft end play?

  0.005 thick 2070866
  0.012 2070868
  0.030 2070870

  Thanks,
  Mark Lindahl
  '63 300 Conv.
