I sent to Pellican for CV bolt lock washers. I think I could have found these at the local hardware store. Are the others not available anymore. Should I trust these?

Actually, I found schnorr washers at my local Ace hardware store. I would not use those washers they sent but that's just me.

There is an Ace hardware in town. I'll check there tomorrow. Thanks.

Bad on Pelican.
I buy Schnorr washers a hundred at a time.

Mr. Shea has them as well.

serrated, black oxide spring washer (Schnorr)

That's what I thought I was getting. Looks like I'll be sending them back.

I would use the proper washer.

I got mine from Brad Mayeur at 914 LTD.

If no luck locally, McMaster Carr is your friend.

PM me your address. I'll send some out tomorrow.

elliot, i have a washer bag that came from mcmaster (iirc) for the washers.

100 pack
#93501A030
hardened steel serrated BELLEVILLE washers
5/16" screw sz, .331"id, .512"od, .0280" min thk.

Belleville and Schnorr are actually (2) different washers.

The Schnorr Safety Washer S (registered) is the correct washer to use. They come black, yellow, clear zinc and stainless steel. M8 is 1000/box.

I've contacted Schnorr before and gotten a quote from them.

I am willing buy the washers from Schnorr as business in your choice to get the best pricing.

whats the dif between the belleville and the schnorr carrie? metric vs sae? they seem to fit the same and have the 'cupping'.

From the Schnorr handbook

The benefi ts
of SCHNORR® Disc Springs
also known as Belleville Springs result in
design engineers continually increasing
preference for them:
1. Load/defl ection curve of straight,
progressive or regressive character,
according to the design requirements.
2. Alteration of spring performance as
desired by the addition or removal of
single discs.
3. Space saving.
4. Largely self-damping, particularly
with parallel stacking, giving good
shock absorption and energy dissipation.
5. No deformation or fatigue under
normal loads.
6. Long service life.
7. The large range of possible applications
for individual spring sizes simplifi
es stock-keeping.

Same thing happened to me. Been debating using them. I also safety wire mine, so I would think its ok.

so...pelican lists them as superseded to 999 523 102 OB OEM @ a buck a pop or 100 of them for $.1025 each from mcmaster. interesting...pelican lists 8 required per car. that should read per 8 axle or 16 per car. get on that dave.

I safety wire mine as well but I will NOT be using these washers. I've got some on the way. Thanks Mark.

McMaster washers come in a bag labelled SCHNORR in big letters. I'm content.

Since we are talking about these little washers. Is there a correct way they should face or it doesn't matter. Know what I mean ?? :-)

I bought a big bag from Eric ...

Did you get yellow ones? ... they install faster

Sad as the bird site would send you these as oem type

Absolutely! The ID should be towards the bolt head. I guess a picture is better...

Thank you sir !

What ever happened to the group buy for drilled CV bolts?

I drilled mine myself. A few minutes with a drill press. Countersink the holes to get rid of sharp edges. Check the picture in my first post. Not hard to do.

The washers I have always used have a serrated surface on BOTH sides of the washer arranged at an angle. This one looks a little different.

I did a GB, sent out a few for those that wanted them. still have them.
-Mark

The washers are serrated on both sides. It just doesn't look like it in the pic.

Boy I'm glad someone spoke out, those kinds of washers will flatten out and you will loose your torque, wired or not.

Thanks Mark. I'm easily confused.

I just safety wire the bolts.

Pointy part toward the bolt head.

PM sent

how about these

Wow! I wonder where we can get those?

Schnorr washers are stock and good enough, Safety wire is redundant but cheap insurance.

Might be a good thing on a race car. Looks like a special socket and clip ring pliers required.

Ah, good idea for quick release on the triple square. Maybe a machined slot in the head of the fastener to slide the clip on.
