raptor700 - 31/7/14 at 10:13 AM

hi , just had the front ord sierra hubs powdercoated with new bearings and seals just about to torque the 41mm nut up and there is no washer, there wasn one when i bought the hubs and you dont get one supplied in the bearing kit.

does anyone have 2 spare washers?

ford dont make them anymore, does anyone know the size and thickness so i could have a couple lazer cut. thanks in advance

Where did you get your bearing kits from, I got mine from Firstline and the washers were supplied.

I'll have a look in te garage later and see if I have a couple of old ones...

They were just skf ones typical I didn't get any.

If u could have a look that would be great , I wonder If just got a washer for a 41mm nut it may be the same ?

I don't think a normal washer will be thick enough, iirc the washer is probably about double the thickness of a normal washer, and it has a locating bit that sits in stub axle and stops it spinning.

Didn't get washers with my bearing kits either.

Might be worth a call to that tvr place kingster linked to on your thread about the grease covers for front hubs

I got some of this caps , pretty expensive but looked good powdercoated .

I might have to get some lazer cut if anyone knows the dimensions .

Will measure them for you tomorrow if you want.

Hang on, thought you meant caps. Not split my hubs yet.

Hi, Sorry been a busy day.

Had a look in the garage for the washers but they weren't where I thought they were. I'll have a look at the weekend when I get more time but as stated above, they are alot thicker than a standard washer, probably about 4mm

Just had a look through my build images and the ones I used had serrations on to lock onto the hub, I think the one with the slot and key is the rear hub and washer...
