JSabah Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I seem to have these odd crush washers on my ‘49 P18 (woodie). The wheel cylinders are obviously held in place by the adjustment bolts but these also seem to cover the backing plate .... but since they are “soft” I don’t see the point (other then sealing). Are these original, and needed or can I just use 7/16” regular crush washers from big box store? If I need these, should I heat to red hot and let cool to re anneal? I could not find details on this in the service manual.... thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Those are the original front brake hose washers to seal against the backing plate. You don't have to use them. They are not too easy to find anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSabah Posted November 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Thanks. I think I'll try and anneal them and reuse...just because I like to have original type parts when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
