    I am primarily looking for Item #29 the lower washer on the bottom side. I have now located the correct "albeit" used washer in my junk box for under the bearing based on Steve's post :thumbsup::cheers::applause:

    Will machine a new one at work out of 316 SST next week if someone can give me the dimensions for # 29...

    Thanks, T

    Which one are you missing Pat...? It looks like # 29 has been missing off my bike for years.

    I am assuming that you have the one under the bottom bearing?

    PatGas,

    I am using 40 mm forks off of a 1983 CR50o on my 1980 CR 390 Resto.

    From what I can tell the thin washer allows room for the rubber seal. It keeps it from rubbing on the lower triple. Spaces the bearing almost exactly the same thickness as the rubber seal that is attached to the bearing.

    See my CR390 resto thread and pics...for more detail http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/showpost.php?p=87928&postcount=119 I just put these pics in here tonight after putting the wrong washer in earlier today. Sucks but I stripped it off and redid it the correct way.
