Body & Fender Shims Clipsandfasteners – Horseshoe Shim, Model A6166

Description

Product Overview

The Clipsandfasteners Body & Fender Shims are engineered as heavy‑duty, horseshoe‑style shims that deliver precise alignment and load distribution for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications. Constructed from high‑strength steel, each shim weighs 18.3 lb, providing the mass needed to dampen vibration while maintaining dimensional stability under heavy loads. The A6166 model number identifies a specific size and thickness that fits standard chassis, frame, and equipment mounting points, ensuring a secure fit without the need for additional machining. The shims are finished with a corrosion‑resistant coating, extending service life even in harsh environments. Designed for easy installation, the shims can be placed directly into pre‑drilled holes or used in conjunction with existing mounting hardware, making them a versatile solution for both new builds and retrofit projects.

Usage

These shims excel in environments where precise spacing and load‑bearing capacity are critical. In automotive repair shops, they are commonly used to align chassis components, adjust suspension geometry, and correct frame distortions caused by accidents or wear. In industrial settings, the shims support heavy machinery, stabilize conveyor frames, and provide a buffer between metal surfaces to prevent wear and noise. The robust design makes them suitable for use in manufacturing plants, marine applications, and even aerospace maintenance where exact tolerances are required. Whether you are a professional mechanic, a fabricator, or a maintenance technician, the Body & Fender Shims offer a reliable, repeatable solution for alignment challenges across a variety of equipment and structures.
