I did the best I could to organize when I completely took apart my Bugeye, but there are a few parts where mice chewed lables and such. Can someone tell me where these go?

They look like sheet metal shims for fender - hood alingment and such.
I dont remember any parts looking like that on my bugeye.
 
Looks like if you put them on a pole you could go jigging Frog-eyes. :jester: (sorry)
 
Thank you! Where exactly do they go? Should I just keep them until I take it in for a front end allignment? Where do they normally go?

I recall reading on this forum that spacers can be used under the inside bolt holding the front shock to the frame. For a street vehicle, I think just put these in the big box labeled "Misc".
 
That makes sense. That was the area I was working on. Now that I remember, when I finished taking the shocks off, I noticed these on the floor in that area. Thanks for your help.

Kevin,
As you know, one of your swivel axles was bent quite badly. It’s very possible these shims were placed to correct that in it’s past life. Let hope with replacing that bent swivel axle you don’t have the need for these when the time comes.

Thanks Dug. The only person to send me a PP and not a PM from a post. Wait, that doesn't sound good. In any case thanks. You made my day with your front rebuild tips after a frustrating Saturday in the garage.
