Brake Servo Washers

Hi All,
Ther are 3 (polyurethane) washers listed in the Series 1 Jaguar Spares Book, part No C26005, between the servo and the bulkhead toe board. Can't find these with any supplier, does anyone know the thickness and diameter? I assume these are just to give a slight flexibility to the servo mount (?) Would nylon or hard rubber do the job......? Any comments or advice appreciated....
Thanks/regards,
Norman

Norman, probably there to reduce vibration and to seal the toeboard. The nut is a 5/16 nyloc so that diameter is the i/d of the washer you need. Suggest a nylon or hard rubber would do it. 2-3mm thick?

Hi Angus,
Thank you.....as luck would have it, I found the exact component this afternoon in the local hardware store (bathroom section.....) 1" diam. 5/16" hole, 1/8" thick, medium density nylon. The store assistant was quite convinced it was a spare for some obscure valve in a flush cistern, but obviously quite mistaken......Onwards, onwards......!
Thanks/best regards,
Norman.

Ooh dear, I missed those off in my FHC rebuild - no wonder I can hear the servo knock come through the floorboard if I empty it with the engine off !

Well, Christopher, if it's any consolation, you're not alone......A couple of my acquaintances also rebuilding, or who have rebuilt, E-Types, responded to my recent query with "Washers....? Which washers.......? Where...?
Kind regards,
Norman.

I think this is merely a conspiracy to make me to take the car apart again :)

I cant hear a rattle so I think my car will stay without those washers...
