Don,
These sound like the pivot bolt seals, which fit between the name disc
and the back of the spider spring. They prevent moisture from getting
into the brass cups/wooden discs - well that's the theory!I don't think
they should be as long as 3/4" but I could be wrong. They can, of
course, be cut to size.
A Happy New Year to you and to all on the MMM list.

Subject: Front shocks -PA
I have two "extra" parts and I need help locating them in the reassembly
process.
My front shocks were completely rusted together after 30 years in boxes.
After much soaking, cleaning, etc. I have them ready for reassembly. I
have
replaced the brass cups, wood friction disks, center bushes, etc., with
new.
What I didn't replace, I blasted, buffed, primed & painted.
Along with the balance of the rebuild parts came two soft rubber
washers/bushes/? which look to be 3/4" long and same dia. as center
bolt, cut
from a thin walled rubber tube.
Can someone tell me the function they perform and where these rubbers
go?
Thanks,
Don B.
