hi lads

are there any type of shims or anything like that to line these doors up?

my drivers side only wont shut, i need to slam the hell of out it to get it nearly shut & it jams, i found some shim looking things from them originally though but this is a new door.

Make them out of a coke can, you can cut them out with scissors and they wont go rusty. One can thickness on the lower hinge = about 5-6 mm at the back end. Hope this is helpful.

You can make shims out of Coke cans, Milo tins and plastic drink bottles depending on the purpose. :lol:

Is the hinge old? They're crap and wear out like aussie ones, so check that too.

My idea is to man up, get some scissors and a coke can like the otehrs said and make some shims.
Hint: if you slot one side you don't need to remove the hinge bolts completely to slide the shim in and out when adjusting.
:lol:
