F shim thickness and size
Ok, I lost my F shims and I don't want to pay the price being asked online. Can someone please tell me the gauge thickness of these shims? Also, a picture of the shim with a ruler next to it would also be appreciated. Thanks

Re: F shim thickness and size
Can you provide a picture? The only F shims I am aware of are spelled differently.
Stupid F#$&@* shim!

Yup, between the back of the inner panel and the angled cab stiffener. Where the large bolt with the big a$$ washer is.... LockDoc
