Lock washers

Post by greencom »

Hi,
Does anyone know a source for quality lock washers for the con rod bolts? I've had cheap ones break in other applications, cannot afford to let that happen in my engine. NOS would be great of course.
Thanks,
Bob R

I would look at a local engine rebuilder shop for hardware like this.
Technology has changed allot since the NOS parts were produced so I would go with new products myself.

Thanks guys,
Two great options, as long as I can get non-Chinese hardware for critical areas. I am also going to check aircraft suppliers for AN hardware..just thought of that.
