I removed these from 67 conv before restoration and didn't label as they were so obvious where they came from! .... but, I was wrong!
Any one know.. there are a type of vinyl.
Thanks

shims

 

I'm not certain what they are. What model Oldsmobile did they come off of?

 

Oooops. My bad. You posted in the Cutlass sub-forum.

 

Norm
They are from Cutlass supreme conv.
How do I move the post to " body work" ?
Thanks
Dennis

 

Dennis - Don't worry about moving the post - I don't believe you can move or delete the 1st post in a thread anyways. With that said, create another post identical or similar to your post here in Body Work. One of the moderators will catch the duplicate and delete for you - no worries. I thought about those pieces. They appear to have come from the exterior of the car and perhaps the undercarriage somewhere. My first thoughts were (1) emergency brake cable brackets/holders (2) fuel line brackets/cradles along the chassis rail(s) (3) brake tubing brackets/holders along the chassis/frame rails or along the rear axle? Three of them look like brackets and the other three look like shims.

I don't know for certain. Heck, I don't know at all! . That being said, I would guess a soft material would be used on doors or windows.

 

Ah ha. Something just struck me now that you said they're of a type of vinyl - maybe a hard plastic/vinyl perhaps? Are they for the door window channels which hold the glass in place?

 

Hey Norm. It is a hard plastic (sort of). Could not see where they would work in any glass. I am looking in both manuals with out success. I am thinking something to do with panel assembly?

The material looks similar to the 70-72 back up light gaskets. A 50 year old foam like material thats now hard n discolored.

 

I just rebuilt every last window part in my 67 Supreme Convertible. Those weren’t part of that.
