<VV> Door alignment wedges

[Bob & Kathy Gilbert]

Interesting. I don't have a "66 Body Manual" just a "1965-69 Body Manual"
which I checked before I sent the email. I doesn't even have a page 7-67 and
all it says about the wedges is: "if necessary shims can be installed to
achieve desired 1/32 interference" which really doesn't tell me anything.
 
Thanks for the tip. It looks like I need another manual !

The manual calls for a 1/32 inch
interference fit between the brass door wedge and it's plastic mate on the
body. Shims are provided. Good idea but how do you go about setting this up?


Bob:
 
The procedure is written up in the 1966 Body Manual! That what I used to
adjust mine!
 
In the '66 Body Manual - page 7-67, fig. 7 - 102. Provides pictures and
written explanation!
