Hi All, I have found a company that can make the rear end shims in various thicknesses. The material will be stainless steel, so there should not be any surface rust. This metal will be laser cut to size. The thinner material will be easier to cut, so it will be more readily available. They may have some available that are 0.008" thick instead of 0.012 or 0.030" due to limited laser power for cutting. If anyone needs any of these shims, let me know, off line. I need to check on the pricing, but it will be reasonable. 0.005" thick Part:2070866 (Most of these 3 parts are no available from Mopar dealers) 0.012" 2070868 0.030" 2070870 Regards, Mark Lindahl '63 300 Conv. ----- Original Message ----- From: William Miller To: Chrysler 300 Club Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 1:50 PM Subject: [Chrysler300] rear ends Greetings All, With all the shim-pak talk lately, I'll add an idea. I have not talked to them but they do rear ends of all kinds. Try www.ringpinion.com. I'll bet Randy can come up with parts. While I am giving out free advice I'll add some more. Go to the newstand and buy a copy of 'MOPAR MUSCLE' and 'MOPAR ACTION', while they are slanted to muscle cars, what are 300's and even Imperials but big muscle cars. Motors, transmissions, rear ends, are based on the same units thru all the lines. You will find many Mopar only business owners and there are large dealers that offer discounts on performance parts. Also these magazines have tech articles that can be applied to our big body cars.
