Frequently asked questions

What is the Hinge Shim (BHC710010) used for?

The Hinge Shim is a thin spacer fitted behind a door hinge at the bulkhead to set the door alignment and gap. It's used on the Defender front and side doors to pack the hinge so the door sits square and closes cleanly against the aperture.

Where does the hinge shim fit?

The hinge shim fits between the door hinge and the bulkhead mounting on the Defender. Adding or removing shims adjusts how the door hangs, correcting a dropped or misaligned door. It's used at the front door (1986-2006, to VIN WA138480) and front and rear side doors (2007-2016).

How many hinge shims do I need?

The number of hinge shims depends on how far the door needs adjusting, so it's common to fit several to build up the right spacing. Judge the quantity by the gap you're correcting on your Defender, and check the door alignment as you add or remove shims.

How do I confirm the hinge shim fits my Defender?

This shim suits the Defender front door to VIN WA138480 (1986-2006) and front and rear side doors from VIN 7A000001 (2007-2016). Check your VIN against those ranges and compare the shim with your existing spacers, since the companion part BYF100050 cross-references the same fixing.
