I have this problem, when my car was painted the doors were re-assembled by some chump who didnt know what he was doing and the doors warped.

The car is back at the panel beaters again to get this fixed.
I need to obtain all the washers (big, small, tapered or flat) for a complete car.

Does anybody have a spare set or know where I can get some?
It would be a huge help!

I need other door parts too if anyone is dismantling.

Thanks.
:D

from memory its only the top ones that get the tapered washer. As far as other washers go I think its open for interpretation I used the biggest ones I could on the bottom to spread out the clamping forces so the doors didn't distort.

I could only find 1 of the tapered washers so I just cut some more out of an old rocker shaft.

as far as studs go go and buy some 1/4 unf bolts and cut the heads off..
