Can someone help interpret the repair manual please. During reassembly instructions, the manual states "Follow with the two piston washers, ensuring that the curved washers are toward the rubber cups." I am thinking that this means the curve (concave) goes toward the rubber cup. Does that make sense ... so it goes in like this " ) " against the rubber?

Cheers, Mike
 
Offhand, that sounds wrong to me. Usually the convex side goes against the cup, to help spread the lips of the cup against the cylinder wall. But that's just a SWAG.
 
Thanks Randall. Your logic seems OK. Wish that description was a little clearer. Cheers, Mike
 
Wow Mike, seems like that MC is giving you fits! If you keep playing with it for much longer, I am going to catch up to you! :smile:

Cheers

You got that right Tush! It seems to have been one step forward and three back. Guess it just makes getting to the end all that sweeter :smile:
Did get my stick cover made for Christmas though and it looks good.
Cheers, Mike
 
Well Mike, with any luck, we will have them both on the road this year.

Cheers
Tush
 
Well, you will see me, hopefully with the 3A! If not, might have to bring a back up :smile:

Cheers

I've never made it to Bronte ... would be nice in one car or the other one year for sure.
