Can anyone tell me what size the copper washers (ET189) on the rocker feed bolts should be?
I had a weep from one of the washers (also ET189 on my parts list) this weekend and decided to take the whole rocker feed off and replace all the washers.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have the copper ones in my box of spares and had to clean up and reuse the old ones. When I cleaned them and put them on the setpins, the outside diameter is a bit bigger than across the corners of the setpin (ET188), but the inside diameter is probably 2 mm bigger than the thread. I expected them to be a close fit on the thread, have I got the wrong washers, or have they got a big clearance for a reason?

Ps while changing these, I noticed my reflection in the petrol tank, and I looked very old. Is it just mine, or has everyone else’s petrol tank distorted over the years? I blame this new petrol!!
