Title: Fuel Petcock Retaining Screw Washers
Post by: Honda Al on June 03, 2018, 07:00:23 PM
Hello,

I’m after a pair of washers that are used within the fuel petcock with the retaining screws.

CMSNL affectionately call them ‘Packing Cock’. Item number 9 on the parts picture.

David Silver are out and I didn’t want to spend that much at CMSNL on just two packing cocks. Anybody know where else I can source these or does anyone have a couple for sale?

Cheers, Alan.

I seem to remember they were just fibre washers, we used to buy them individually for next to nothing at car parts shops.

I have some, not sure how many but still in OE packaging.

Will let you know a price once I found the receipt for how much they cost me.

Found it, they cost me £2 each, so £4 for 2 inc P&P. I'll have to find them but fairly sure I still have some left, I bought 20 from the USA a year or so ago.

You charged me £12 for 4, two years ago  :'(

Didn't you have something else with them though Trig? can't remember now but £2 does ring a bell and I certainly wouldn't have over charged you.

I am sure but, no receipt was issued  ;D ;D ;D Still have them in a Linbin   ;)

Generic fibre washers are too thin and I have never found an aftermarket fibre that works BUT have had success using the alloy with seal 6mm hydraulic washer ( I know them as Dowty Washers) and cap screws instead of Phillips

Oddjob, I only paid £2 each and if you remember, they spent a month churning around somewhere in the Royal Mail conveyor belt. I returned 2 replacements to you.
