    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

CV carb adjustment screw washer II

Well, the only thing sanely priced was this lil' creature:

18-8 Stainless Steel NAS 620 Flat Washer 4 Sz, No. C4, .115" ID, .209" OD, .029"-.035" Thk

As you'll note, the ID is just a tad -- just a MITE -- small, by 0.08mm. The slightly greater thickness is inconsequential, and the OD looks perfect.

I had to order a huge number of these, enough to last probably forever.

What's a good way to enlarge a tiny washer by a tiny amount?

The good news is, people won't have to shell out for a rebuild kit + shipping if / when they lose one or two of these. I'm thinking a dollar per set of 4 + a stamp. Sound fair? At least until they pay themselves off, which could be a long, long time...

I did find some that were sized just right, but they were 43 cents a copy and the minimum order was 500. No thanks...
 
Broach or a reamer (.08mm=.002" ? ) I don't know about the hardness though.
send me one and i'll try it with my clock bushing reamers.

.002" is about right.

Rockwell hardness = B70. Is that good or bad? I'm just wondering how I'd hold the little *&^(*^'s back while I operate, considering that it's going to happen many times.

PM me your mailing address and I'll mail you a few when they arrive, probably tomorrow.
 
I've got to order some o-rings and I hope to do it tonight, put it in the package.

what I find is slightly stronger than an unhardened Grade 2 steel fastener.
looks like it's in the brass scale of hardness.

Robert,
thanks for doing this! Of course, you know it's about a month late, but I will keep you in mind for next time.
