Having at last been allowed back down the pit( after surgery) I have continued putting the back axle on my ‘37 Ruby.
On cleaning the rear shocks I found no washers on either the axle connection or that to the arm.
I have put steel washers either side of the rubber Bush on the axle connection but when I consulted “ Woodrow” his diagram shows fibre washers on either side of the Bush attaching to the shock absorber arm.
I can’t see why fibre washers should be used and intend to use steel washers unless there is some advantage in the fibre washers in this situation?
I would appreciate any comments.
