1935 Cadillac - GM Heritage Center

Fisher Body Service Manual, 1935
In a Door that fits too close to the center Body Pillar, the
Door Lock Bolt may project through far enough to strike on
the Metal Pillar Cover and cause a chafing noise.

Door Wedge Plate and Dovetail Assembly.
To correct this the Door Hinge halves should be either
compressed closer together or the Hinge shimmed to move the
Door farther away from the Body Lock Pillar. The condition
may also be remedied if the depression at the Striker Plate is
calked deeper.

DOOR SIDE RUBBER BUMPER
Door Side Rubber Bumpers serve the purpose of pushing
or pressing the Lock side of Door out from the Body.
The Striker Plate holds the Door in to the Body. The
Bumpers and Strikers should always function in this manner.
If there is too little pressure the Door will rattle at the
Striker Plate. If too great, it will cause the Door to be hard
to close and create too much cutting action at the Bolt and
Striker.

DOOR HINGE
The Door Hinge consists of two halves, male and female.
In the male half are pressed two Bronze Bushings that form
bearings which turn on the Hinge Pin. The Hinge Pin has
two spiral grooves for conducting the lubricant that is to be
injected in an oil hole in the inside center of the male half
wit!) u preshure oil gun. See Lubrication, page 7U.
The Hinge Pin is knurled just below the head in order to
grip the Pin solid in the upper hole of the female half of the
Hinge that is bolted to the Body Pillar. The Hinge Bushings
are removed with Tool B-128 and installed with Tool B-129.
A Reamer, B-130, is used to ream them to a close fit.
