The washers I took off my heads (Type 4) 30 years ago got mixed in with my other hardware. I fished out 16 M10 washers that fit, but want to make sure I'm installing correct washers and maybe source some new ones if needed. PET just lists:
washer A 10,5 Are they special thickness or hardness etc.? BTW, anyone know what the "A", "B", etc. for hardware specs in the PET mean? I haven't been able to find a key. Must be looking in the wrong place. |

Yes, they are harder than regular washers.
You need to use the correct ones or they will smash and bad things can happen. |

Exactly what I would have guessed. Would these from Belmetric work? https://www.belmetric.com/hardened-metric-f...in-p-10688.html |
