Spring Washers
« on: December 07, 2014, 05:52:14 AM »
Anyone know where I can find the 3 spring washers shown in the bottom center of the attached picture?  Restoring a 65gs 4-speed shifter and two are missing and the one that is left is badly rusted:

Figured you would be familiar with McMaster-Carr. This page on 'disc springs' may have what you are looking for:

For those of you that are not familiar with McMaster-Carr, they are one of the largest industrial suppliers out there.... they have nearly everything! We buy from them weekly for work-related supplies (my workplace is an Engineering/manufacturing facility).
Other industrial suppliers include Graingers, MSC and Fastenal.

You can get those in a Hurst shifter tune-up; rebuild type kit.
