Anyone still have washers for the shim?

im_a_ninja · February 15th, 2011, 05:46 PM

I sent a message to the guy that had some offered, but haven't gotten a reply.
I can't seem to find the right ones online. I found some at the fastenal website, but I'm not a member or whatever...so I can't order them.

Does anyone have some leftover they'd be willing to send me? I'll send you a few bucks through paypal.
Or link me to the correct ones at the site I can buy them from?

I want to order the right ones.

Thanks!

quick question, are the washers supposed to be able to fit inside the plastic piece attatched to the spring? i can see where the head of the needle will sit but my washers are just a tad too big. advice?

should look like this...

use 3mm or sae#4 washers. bigger washers can lead to problems.

Take your needle and go to a hardware store. Not Home Depot or Lowes, I mean a real hardware store, and find one of hte old dudes working there and tell him you want some stainless washers for the needle. For less than a buck you'll leave with a handful.
