Description
Overview:
Thimble Adaptor Shim 8 mm to 9.5 mm Square Drive, Mild Steel, Self Colour (MPN 800 1247) is a mild steel insert used to adapt interior vehicle handle mechanisms. It sleeves an 8 mm round spindle (approx. 5/16 in) to suit a 9.5 mm square drive (3/8 in), enabling handles, latches or locks with a 3/8 in square to operate on an 8 mm shaft. Manufactured from mild steel with a self colour (uncoated) finish, it is suitable for refurbishment where components may be finished or painted to match. Specified by Albert Jagger, this adaptor shim is commonly used in vintage and classic vehicle interiors where mixed metric and imperial hardware needs to be matched.
