Abstract:
1. An adjustable shim comprising: a first member having a bottom wall portion defining a fastener opening therein, the first member also defining a threaded opening spaced from the fastener opening and disposed coaxially with the fastener opening; a second member telescopically mounted on the first member, the second member having an outer wall portion defining an access opening disposed remotely from and coaxially with the first member threaded opening, and wherein the first member is received within the second member; a hollow bolt threadably located in the first member threaded opening coaxially with the access and fastener openings, the bolt having a head located adjacent to the access opening; means for rotatably retaining the bolt head adjacent to the access opening; and means for preventing relative rotation between the first and second members, so that rotation of the bolt head by a tool passing through the access opening causes the second member to move telescopically relative to the first member.
