stallie Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I understand these are fibre washers, and have googled them, but to no avail. What are they made from, how thick and confirming they go between the spire nut and the metal (on the front wing)? I'd have thought that they would be in the front wing fitting kit that I just got from Moss, but alas, no..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Yes flat fibre washers. Heritage used to supply them once as they were used on TR6 new shells. I guess they have stoped doing them as they do not build TR 6 shells now Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hi Ed, Thanks for this: http://bullfire.net/TR6/TR6%20TOC.html Great reference source for some projects I'm planning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stallie Posted June 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Thanks Ed and Pete. I've done some more digging, the original TR6 parts catalogue catalogue says Washer, Everseal part #619587. This doesn't correspond to anything I can find in the original Triumph hardware (nut and bolt) catalogue. However the Triumph catalogue elsewhere does state Fibre washers, WF05xx. These appear to be used in the engine area (eg the RHS drain plug) corresponding to GHF346 in the moss Cat which is different to the Moss # 626716 that is the part number for their Everseal washers. If I can get dimensions, I might buy some fibre and with a couple of punches just make them. Edited June 25, 2018 by stallie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 The #626716 is also the part number at TRF and Rimmers. The washers from TRF are a fairly soft, pliable fiber material, nominal 1" OD, 1/4" ID, 1/16" thick. Actual measurements: 0.993" x 0.23" X 0.067". Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stallie Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Thanks Ed. And I've just put one and one together and realised that you are the owner of the bull fire tr6 site. Nice work and I have used it as a reference for a few things over the last year or two. Many thanks. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stallie Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 I just found 100 on fleabay for $10 that roughly match those dimensions. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
