Trev1073 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 The rear bogie on the M7 appears to be secured by a washer which grips a central spindle. Has anybody any experience in replacing a lost washer? No trace of a spare part that l can find so what alternatives are there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 How about a little disc of Plastikard with a hole to suit ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear plastic e.g. coke bottle, gives a certain springyness if you make the hole smaller than the spindle. Use a hole punch for instant discs/washers!

Butler Henderson Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Presume its similar to the bogie on the Schools - I managed to self thread a nut onto the pivot with a washer below it. Pretty poor design penny pinching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev1073 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Thanks for the suggestions to replace the washer, does seem a very weak design feature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
