## Abstract

A peelable adapter element for balancing out assembly and/or component tolerances, with a core body to define a minimum dimension and at least one stack of films bound to the core body to define a maximum dimension, which includes a plurality of peelable metal films detachably joined with each other by a respective binder film. The core body is formed of a plastic matrix with integrated fiber reinforcement.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1
