REFLECTOR: Belleville washers

[Laurence Coen]

Al,

You are correct. I simply swapped the fiber for the nylon washer.  Nylon won't adsorb water or rust and is self lubricating. Because nylon is self lubricating the problem of grease working its way out is eliminated.  My experience has been annual maintenance is all that is necessary.

Andy;



Back up a bit; Jeff's using the wheel lock.



But Larry; you're using the nylon washer with friction damping?  Replacing the composition washer, with the bellevilles on the bottom?

Jeff,



Can you share with all of us what your build up consisted of and how did you know set the proper torque for the nut? Did you still use a pull gage and if so how much?



You can't just tell everyone that this works great without sharing the details?

Jeff,

Could I talk you into making a set for me?  I'd gladly trade for free banjo lessons or $5 or whatever plus shipping.

I ordered some 2 1/2" round stock on line and opened up a hole to the right dia. using a lathe. It works great.

Where did you get the nylon sheet stock that you made the washers from and how many did you use?

I found that a combo of a home made nylon washer and a nose wheel lock makes a great addation to any velocity. no nose wheel shimmy and awsome steering (taxi) on the ground...Jeff

I have the 'thin' belleville washers (with spacer) - and plan on purchasing a new washer kit from the factory, but I thought someone had successfully been using SS washers - and had suggested McMaster as a source...?
