<p>I can't tell that there are 2 or 3 pair of washers in their
video. But they're not nested together.<br>

years I have rebuilt numerous Healey steering boxes. Other
than the very early versions all these boxes have 6 Belleville
washers (springs) on the rocker shaft which bear onto the case
and provide upward pressure on the shaft which is intended, I
believe, to prevent rattles from the box.</div>

always installed these as 3 pairs with their open ends facing
each other which has always worked satisfactorily for me
however, I recently disassembled what I believe to be a BJ8
steering box which had never previously been disassembled and
found all the washers (springs) nested together with the
"open" end upward. <br>
