Hi all.
This may sound like a strange quest to some but I'm seeking some clarity on the type of washers Vincent-HRD used during original construction.
I have a mid 1949 built HRD Shadow, I am trying to get a definitive answer on the washers used during its build.
There are two schools of thought prevailing, one is that British Standard washers were used which as you will all know had a 30 degree chamfer to one face. The second opinion is that the washers used were of the bar turned variety. In either case they were not of the 'stamped out' production method.
Any help or insight gratefully appreciated. Kind regards Neil
