Re: F shim thickness and size

So the F shims can be installed from underneath the inner fender?
Thanks
I imagine they were made in the "F" shape so they could be inserted without difficulty on the assembly line if they were needed.
Loosen the bolt and see if that changes the fender issue...
keep us informed, I'll be hanging sheetmetal on my '67 soon
