1937 Super Eight 'offset pilot thimble' for camber adjustment
by Ed Boersma on 2024/1/4 13:59:35

Looking for some offset pilot shims to adjust front suspension camber. These are (best as I can recall) a small metal 'plate' about 3/4" wide by 2" long by 1/8" thick with a hole through which the upper shock absorber bolt passes. The hole is centered in the plate, or is offset to adjust the camber. I'm hoping somebody has some so that I don't have to have them fabricated. Thanks! Call Ed @ 763-586-0700 or contact through this site.

Flackmaster may have some. I know I sent him a box of them from an estate I picked. But, not sure if there are correct for your year/model.
