CA 1091720

Abstract of the Disclosure A shim is clamped between a component of a vehicle bumper assembly and a support member to provide a desired spacing for bumper alignment. The weight of the shim and the cost of material for its manufacture are minimized by forming the shim from sheet metal half the thickness of the desired spacing, and by folding the metal to provide double thickness in selected load bearing regions. A number of opening s may be provided in other regions further to reduce the weight. Additional folded areas may be used for applications where loading is not restricted to areas adjacent the bolts, and serrations may be embossed in the shim to facilitate mounting of the shim and enhance its stiffness.
