Steel Shim Stock Speedway Motors 100 Piece Kit Zinc Coated

Description

Product Overview

The Speedway Motors 100-piece body shim kit delivers precision alignment solutions for demanding automotive and industrial applications. Constructed from durable steel with a protective zinc coating, these shims resist corrosion while maintaining dimensional stability. Each shim measures 1.25 x 1.125 inches with a consistent 1/16-inch thickness, ensuring reliable performance in various fitting scenarios. The kit includes part number SM3155, specifically designed for classic Camaros and other restoration projects where precise gap filling and alignment are critical.

Usage

These steel shims are engineered for automotive body alignment, industrial machinery calibration, and general fabrication projects. Mechanics and restoration specialists use them to achieve perfect door, hood, and panel gaps on classic vehicles like Camaros. Industrial technicians employ them for precise equipment leveling and component spacing in manufacturing environments. The zinc-coated finish makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications where moisture resistance is required.

Why Choose Us

FAQ

What materials are these shims made from?

The shims are manufactured from high-quality steel with a zinc coating that provides corrosion resistance and extends the product’s service life in various environmental conditions.

Are these shims suitable for high-temperature applications?

While the steel construction handles moderate temperatures well, the zinc coating may degrade at sustained temperatures above 390°F, making them better suited for standard automotive and industrial use rather than high-heat environments.

How do I determine the right number of shims for my application?

Start with a single shim and test the fit, adding additional shims gradually until achieving the desired alignment. The 100-piece kit provides ample supply for multiple adjustment scenarios and trial fitting.

Can these shims be cut or modified for custom applications?

Yes, the steel construction allows for cutting with appropriate metalworking tools, though we recommend maintaining the original dimensions whenever possible to ensure optimal performance and corrosion protection.

What vehicles are these shims compatible with?

While specifically designed for classic Camaros, these shims work with most automotive applications requiring 1/16-inch gap filling, including other classic cars, modern vehicles, and various industrial equipment.
