You'll find they are quite tight around the bolt as in you'll pretty much have to wind them down the threaded part but often they will seal where ordinary compression washers won't. In fact, on one of my chariots they are specified for the sump plug and gearbox drain plug.  |
Interesting and thank you David. I have bookmarked that.
My red block sump plug specifies a copper washer (gasket as they call it). I find that with a new one done up to the specified torque there is no leak.
Dowty sounds well worth remembering in case of need in any future task. Mind you. My memory is approaching MOT time....
Bookmarking is one thing. Remembering it is bookmarked, and what to search for within my bookmarks, that is crucial....
