[Healeys] Belleville washers in BN2 steering box

Sat Jan 14 03:44:48 MST 2017

Hi,

Try someone like this:-

https://www.parcel2go.com/

ie make your own shipping arrangements via a courier of your own choosing. I use people off this site quite often when I think I’m about to be ripped off on P&P.

I just got a quote for a spoof package: 500mmH X 300mmL X 200mmH at 9kilo. Pick up UK, delivered USA, including “Protection”(?). 4 days+ ETA.

£120:00 delivery to the US at a “Take it or Leave it; we really don’t give a stuff” rate is appalling. Unless it includes a huge amount of import dues. But I imagine that those iniquities are handled separately in the US, just like they are here?

I wanted to buy a luggage rack from England, They wanted 248 BPS for the rack and 125 BPS to ship. I told them to find a cheaper way to ship or I would not buy the rack. They told me too bad that was what it cost to ship. Other suppliers have been willing to find a cheaper way to ship when I asked...

But no VAT applied :)

Bob,

FWIW, there would be no VAT on export orders from the UK, but shipping is getting really expensive.

Well, I went ahead and ordered from Moss.  I did a cursory check of the interwebs didn't turn up anything of those dimensions here:

and here:

and others, and I need to get this car back together before I start losing the little bits.   FWIW, SC Parts and AH Spares have them at a more reasonable price--esp. with the current exchange rate--but with VAT and shipping it's not a massive savings.

My thanks to Olin, Bob and others who responded; if I come across these in this size I'll make a note for future reference.  Now, at least, I know what they're for and how to stack them.

Bob,

I figured height of the spring was also important, so I put 2 together and measured the height with calipers
Height of 2 washers: 0.100 inches
Height of 1 washer: 0.050 inches
Thickness of washer: 0.025 inches
Checking the previous diameter dimensions with a caliper, I get:

ID: 1.057 inches
OD: 1.5 inches

I suspect that the ID is originally spec'd to be 1-1/16" but because of the slight "spring", the diameter is slightly less.  Good luck

I just pulled mine out of a steering box I am rebuilding, and yes there are 6 positioned as such: ()()() Where only the outer edges touch.  The dimensions are as follows:

ID: 1-1/16
OD: 1-1/2
Pictures of the measurements are attached for verification purposes.

The washers were loose on the shaft, but I think the closer tolerance is going to be on the OD side.
