Spring washers

[Martin27]

Hi, friend of mine need this special spring washers, do someone know where to get them?
Many thanks, Martin

These spring washers are called Thackery Washers, and on a vintage Flying Squirrel there is one on the pivot for the hand gear-change lever, and one each side of the rear stand. Hard to find these days. They are still made but in far too thick metal for the Scott fitments.

Have you looked online? There seem to be some there, I got some for my 2-speed gear which are fine.

Might be worth searching using the correct Imperial size units too…?

Thanks a lot, for answers, much easier with correct words 🙂
All the best,
Martin

Triumph rocker spindle spring washers are light and 1/2″ bore. Might be an easy alternative.

Yes, Tiger Cub fitting ones look about right.

Lots of different sizes of thackery washers on Ebay.
Simply type THACKERY WASHERS in Shop by Caterory.

They nearly all look to be far too thick. The ones on the hand-change gear lever pivot and rear stand pivot can easily be compressed between finger and thumb.

I got the rear stand thackery washers from Richard Blackburn. My friend need this for Indian, but I will order some for the gear change lever as well. Hope it will be suitable and work well. Thanks for the infos
