As just noted, the part numbers changed between 1962 and 1963. Several of the older part numbers were only six-digit, so Chrysler may have just been updating the part numbers on general principles or perhaps a materials change. Otherwise, there may have been bolt size or bolt circle changes or other dimensional changes driving the part number change. Please share any comparison you are able to make between ’55-’62 (or maybe even earlier) and ’63-‘65+ shims. Making up a goodly supply of the shims would seem to be a good idea unless the shims are already available in quantity from a reliable supplier. 300K’ly, Rich Barber Brentwood, CA From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of 'Mark Lindahl' mplindahl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] Hi Carl, I had a similar problem with my ’63 300 convert. The shim was falling apart and it could not be used again. I was able to find a NOS shim at a dealer out of state. I work with a company that can laser cut metal stock and they were able to cut me some shims in various thicknesses. I have some available. We just would need to confirm that the shims used for a ’63 would match a ’61. I will have to dig them out.

Or any other way to solve the issue? //Carl __._,_.___ Posted by: "Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx> To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/all/manage/edit For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylang __,_._,___ |
