Drag Strut cupped washers

#1 Post by SprintMWU773V »

I have a couple of washers missing, cupped ones used in the front drag strut assembly part number 142356. Seems they are NLA but often these things seems to be lying around. Seems you're supposed to now use a plain washer, flat type. I assume Triumph specified a cupped one for a reason.

Any suggestions for a source or indeed whether a plain washer would be acceptable?

If you are using a poly bush here then a suitable flat washer will do the job.

Cant be a hard part to remake. Do Fitchetts know? They make the subframe cup washers.
