964 convertible top copper washer substitute?
Hi all,
The top on my 964 cab started "laboring" upon open & close. After looking further into the problem, I found that the copper washers (999 025 254 10) seated between the motor and convertible top drive arm were worn (one was actually torn!). It seems like everyone wants ~$25/prt for the washers. This seems outrageous to me. Does anyone know of a substitute? Thanks in advance! -john |

Dimensions? There will be lots of other places to buy washers. McMaster Carr maybe?

the washer is:
Thickness = 0.060" ID = 1.125" OD = 2.0" I checked McMaster Carr and i really don't see anything in brass or copper with an ID big enough... Did anyone else have any luck? |

Anyone think a thrust bearing would work? This one looks to be about the right dimensions...

Too good if anything. I was going to suggest a bronze washer.

how many washers does it take?
I mean....$25 is pretty cheap in the big picture, you probably wasted that much on a bottle of wine you didnt even like.....
