Grady sez ..."I am still not clear about the Schnorr “S” and “VS” issue. My measurements tell me the original washers were “S” and not “VS.” I haven’t measured any recent parts (OE or replacement)..."
Sorry if I wasn't clear. Yes...the Schnorr parts from Porsche , with the parts numbers mentioned in my reply for the 10mm size.... are "S" style. I don't think this has changed. Still "S".
Although Jim Sims gives compelling reasons why a low clamp force "S" washer ( for non-"graded" hardware) is OK for our CV applications...and was even spec'd by Porsche...it still seems odd to me that the "VS" style ( i.e....the style for property class 8.8 and greater)... wasn't used for the class 12.9 CV bolts.
