550 F2 started!
Oddjob:
I'm like Bryan, the underneath washer is definitely a soft alloy one, I tend to fit a copper one under the head of the bolt.
I've got both kinds if you need any Roo. I also fit the same type copper washer under every bolt with a number 12 washer under it as well.
Oddjob:
Just started a 550 clutch cover tonight Roo. Went to the box they are all in and just picked one at random, damn it's BAD, really really really bad. Massive amounts of corrosion. Just spend 2 3/4 hours tidying it up a little, did I mention it's bad. Got about 1/3rd done but many many more hours to go on it yet. I've taken some before pics and I'll take some more as it progresses, don't hold your breath, this will be a whenever I feel like it project. Actuating arm is in nice condition though.
Sesman:
Definitely soft alloy. I believe Trigger has a modification to eliminate weeping from this area. I think it involves some machining and the use of an o ring. I’ve not tried the copper washer alternative solution.
Laverdaroo:
Thanks fellas, mine had absolutely nothing on them and only thought it should upon having a look last night.
Ken, could you bob some in a bag to suit and fling em in the post mate, that would be extaordinarily useful? ket me know how many camels yuo want and I'll reimburse you .
I'll go with yur advice and do all the ones listed as 12 if you've got enough?

Sesman:
Dunno, mate. I think it was mentioned by one of the following: Julie, Delta, Ash, Ken….. I may of course be talking boll£:s.
