36 diff, star gear (spider gear?) thrust washers

bob ward

What am I looking for in the way of thrust washers for the star gears in a 36 diff? The manual mentions washers but provides no detail on them.

I do have washer remnants, half of a cup washer and a flat washer, both made from fibre but presumably the originals were bronze?

Bob,    Check with "Dr. Doug",, (Wildrick Restoration).  I provided him with a good supply of these.

While wandering the net looking for diff thrust washers, waiting for Dr Doug to respond, I found this article on the life of bronze (brass?) thrust washers vs the fibre items.

Thank you Bob for the link. There is some good comparison information there between fiber and brass thrust washers.
