or you should be able to get them from the same person you got all your 2.0 parts from, I'd think Brad would have some in stock

what size? 7MM or 8MM??

Add this to your quizes Dave

Ok so I have to answer myself

999 523 102 01 - is 8mm lock washer

100 SS 8mm from McMaster Carr $15

will i'll buy a few from you if you get the Mcmaster ones.

I would think any well stocked hardware store would have them in the "Metric Isle".

i think I've ever seen them at the usual hardware stores....

Is this a "loaded washer" , that is to say deformed, not flat?

not a spring or a split washer. it has teeth that bit into each surface...

It has teeth, but it is also conical, from what I remember.

1 more. Conical.

worth a check, eh?

if they don't well at least you looked....


Hardware stores carry metric stuff......i'd try there, like a true-value or like a home depot (but HD doesnt have jack)

And what's wrong with Loctite in their place with a normal spring washer?

Not vintage (old), besides one would not get to go to store and ask for "sleeping washers".

Okeh.................

By the way, I believe Cap'n Krusty has stated a few times that in place of the cheap paper CV washer, RTV works wonders too!

Old heh......

I guess us "backyard arthritic mechanics" do all sorts of bad things

Greenish blue / maybe kinda grey......mix black, red and blue together...it should come out about right

where are these washers a must?

CV joint bolts (the ones that bolt the cv joints to the flange). They are a style of an "internal lock washer".

I guess I'm unsafe...I use locktite
