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. |

What are the dimensions of the stock washers?
I wonder if a non-hardened thicker washer would make up the the lack of hardening? At the low torque these are under the washer is not going to crush, even if it is not hardened. A non hardened washer would not distribute the load out to the edges the same as a hardened washer would but an extra thick washer might. Jim |
