S1 4.2 FHC if that helps

Thanks in anticipation

They are shims, or more accurately packing pieces, and there are two locations I can think of where they might go

1.On top of and/or underneath the central chrome pillar to which the rear quarter windows fasten

2. between the horizontal frame of the windows and the top land of the door - however these I think tend to be thinner than those

There may be other locations but at present I can't think of them

Bonnet hinge shims?

No...Neither of those.

the center pillar ones are very thin chrome.

Door top/window frame jobbie are different size

And much to small for bonnet hinge....thats a std size envelope they're sitting on.

Keep going.....it's doing my head in

Christopher is correct. Those are shims used to establish the correct height of the door frames on the FHC.

Hi I can agree they are from under the window frame
fit between the door top and the frame to adjust the height

No...Listen. The shims I have for the window frames have holes that are further apart.

Why u no risten.

Packing pieces between window frame and top of door.

Christopher and Angus are right they are packing pieces for the door window frames.

Well something is going wrong then because I thought exactly the same....even took them up with the body and frames etc to be fitted up pre paint and they dont line up with the holes that are in the door or the frame.

The holes appear to close together

For info: my window/door frame shims/packers are single U shape and there are 6 holes on each door (series 1 FHC). Looking at these packers I would say the holes look a little too close to each other to fit my car.

It doesn't say anywhere that you have to use both the holes they are only packing pieces / shims.

your all wrong,

they should be chrome, and it looks like some letters are missing.
look out for the others... a T and a Y and a P

Talking of the door frame shims I need some as mine have run off and hidden. They do not appear on the sng barratt website under the original part number. I know I could make some but easier to buy nice new plated ones. Anybody managed to buy these?
