So since i bought my Mustang a few months ago i've notice a rubbing noise every time i opened the passenger side door. I thought it was just a squeeky hinge until i inspected it closer last week. The door is actually rubbing on the front fender. Easy fix...just adjust the fender forward an eighth of an inch........or not!
The fender is as far forward as it would go and actually should be brought back an eighth of an inch or so. The door has a decent gap between the rear fender when closed so i thought i would just adjust the door with a couple of washers.......or not!
I tried it and it worked.....sort of....i nailed the spacing but i don't like the play in the hinges with just a couple of flimsy washers making the hinge sit unevenly. So here's my questions....do they make shims? 1/8th or 1/4 inch metal sheets with the same shape and hole pattern as the bracket? If not i will have to fabricate my own. Now a huge deal but rather inconvienent.
