My neighbor whick has a 65 came over and he said that they are latch shims. I felt like a nut. He said that the hinge has no shims. It seams that the hinge post needs to be strong.If you put shims there it would not be as strong. for the hinge would not have a solid place for the metal to metal. Not shim to metal. At least he didn't hit me or any thing.
