C2--Exhaust filler panel shim

[Neal K.]

Does ayone know of a source for the exhaust filler panel shim(part number 3762962 shown on page F3 of UPC 1 of the AIM) that is used on an "AS IS" basis between the rear exhaust filler panel and adjacent quarter panel bonding strip?
Thanks

Neal,
I just use the old rusty one as a pattern to notch out a new one. Thickness selection can be made for select fit.

Hi Gene,
I wish I had the old "rusty" one to use as a template. Long ago disappeared.
Any suggestions?

Then just fake it. It's about 3/4" long, 1/16" thick, U shape to slide into position about screw. Nobody is going to see it once installed. Infact a hole would retain it more secure if that makes it easier to fabricate.
