Dunno what they've for, or how important they are. My parts book calls
them oil seals, P/N 60586. Seems to be listed in both TRF's and Moss
UK's price list under that part number, plus Moss US as P/N 262-320.
(Admittedly, all three copies are somewhat out of date.) The price
lists all call it an 'anti-rattle' ring or washer, so perhaps that's
it's function. Would a common hose washer work ?
