    spacers for the bumpers I believe, to make sure everything lines up.

    To shim “A” arms where they’re bolted to the frame.

    Hi can somebody take a picture of how one of these is installed for the bumper or other body parts that use these shims?

    The first washer is an alignment shim as discussed above, my 308s, 512TR, 348 and 355 all used this type. later cars are a little different. The second washer was used to adjust the outside door cove/panel on my 355. The third is a body washer but I can’t remember which car it was used on either the 355 or 512? Hope that helps.

    Yes absolutely, the third one is what I am talking about/looking at but I can't figure out how it fits at the top/front of the bumper on a California where the bumper meets the cross member - at least what the diagram shows.

    I assume it may go between the back side of the bumper and the metal body support from the frame such as to line up the bumper with the other body part(s)?

    Thank you all for your help.

    something to remember is that every car would be different, ie; one car might need two washers at one point of alignment and another may need nothing. The door coves on my 355 had several on the drivers side and one at one point on the passenger side.
    You are correct in what you are saying above in your second paragraph.
