36 ford. Rear axle shim
Does anyone know where to buy a 1936 (1928-1948) rear axle shim that is thicker than the ones I have, 0.004 inch?

Re: 36 ford. Rear axle shim
Are you talking about the gasket shims? If so, Best Gasket has them .003, .005, .007 and .009 thick in a set.

Re: 36 ford. Rear axle shim
It's important to know which rear axle shim you are referring to. I can think of at least three locations, and I'm sure there are more, where the early Ford banjo rear can be shimmed.

Re: 36 ford. Rear axle shim
The shim I need goes around the tip of the axle, inside the brake drum. It is used to prevent the brake drum from contacting the backing plate.

If my drums were contacting the backplates I would be looking at the hubs, drums, shafts and backplates. Ok I am "that guy". Mart. |

Those shims are available from C&G (800)266-0479. Order B-4243, catalog says $1 each. They are used to correct the fit between the end of the axle, or a worn hub.

Re: 36 ford. Rear axle shim
The shims I installed are from C&G, PN. A 4235, catalog issue. 50, page62. They measure 0.004 in. thick. Maybe the PN B 4243 is thicker. I will call them. My axles and drums are very old. I have only driven this car about 600 miles. About 75 miles after new linings, turned and arched drums. Thanks to all for the tips.
