If the shims are no longer available, then I would like to see a specification/drawing sheet with all appropriate dimensions such that I could fabricate same. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Charlie, I have two striker plates left on a cab that I am trashing. If any are behind the striker I can fix you up. Right now its raining cats and dogs so it'll be at least tomorrow ....
unless you come across some sooner.
I see your in Aiken..do you know Steve Bright?? Also expect you at the Southern Stovebolt Reunion next year!! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 13 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 13 | That is great info.
I am also told that one can use "trash quality" striker plates as shims because you can cut off the top & bottom tabs where the bolts go thru as they are a perfect shim.
Thanks,
Please keep me posted.

Some of the door parts changed between 50 and 51 but you should be able to get an Idea on how to make the shim. Good Luck | | |
