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. ![]() |

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. ![]() |
