It will be smaller than 5/16", and then apply a dab of that silicon gasket maker to each side of the washer. After the silicon sets up and the bolts are snugged down, just clean off the excess silicon and you're good to go.   [Reply]   [No Email]

When you get them, they say for electric and seem to e copper plated steel. Dave   [Reply]   [No Email]

The measure dimensions for that part number can be found in an old thread on YT. old washer thread   [Reply]   [No Email]

These washers are for the bolts and nuts that hold on the water jacket cover on my '44 H.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I'll have to remove one of mine and take pictures and measurements. The washer is thin and barely noticeable. Or I could send you some from a 400 block. I think they are the same as a H. I wonder how much they would fetch on eBay? Ten bucks each?   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Maybe they'd work in this case?   [Reply]   [No Email]
