Title: Where are these D washers from?
Post by: Andrew-S on June 01, 2020, 11:42:04 AM: Just refitting the brake caliper adjuster spring and found two D washers in the same bag, it seems there's a 6mm plain washer missing but wondered where these D washers are from?

Thanks,
Andrew

Post by: Phil k on June 01, 2020, 01:30:47 PM: I know it’s a yoke, but it’s also a triple tee in parts of the world :)

And Please don’t call me a septic 🙏

Would never call you septic. Its as somebody famous said "the UK and the US are two countries separated by the same language"

Post by: Phil k on June 01, 2020, 07:16:06 PM: The crossings are just a test to see if drivers are awake 😳

No worries

Phil 👍

Yet supposedly based from England.

Why is it called a triple tree?
The Triple Tree was the name referred to the typical structure of Tyburn gallows, composed by a beam placed across the branches of two trees. The triangle shape of this structure provided it the name of the Triple Tree, used the first time in 1571, at the time of the execution of the Catholic cleric John Story.

Nearly there, but to me in my best Neder lingo it's the 'bovenste kroonplaat'.............or top triple clamp if you like? ;D

Post by: mike the bike on June 06, 2020, 10:58:08 PM: That's it. I'm calling them a crownplate now. That'll confuse the yanks.
And everyone else.
