pruav Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I was looking at the ebay ads to see if there were any good deals on stuff I might need when I saw this. My link Does anybody use one? What exactly does this do? It looks like a plastic washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodell Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 The intent is to reduce and control the friction between the shellplate bolt and the shellplate. Some use a thrust bearing and washer assembly. I suppose a polyethylene washer would provide some help, but nowhere as near as much as one of the bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrow Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 use it, it rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 How does this work? The picture shows that it goes between the star bottom and the top of the shellplate. These two move together as on unit. Wouldn't it be better to reduce friction at the bolt top or the interface of the shellplate and platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the photo is not showing a 650 that most of use it with. the 650 does not have the star I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 The link is for the one for the 550, the seller has a different one for the 650. The washer goes between the star and the bolt head which is what is stated in the description narrative. The arrow in the picture is a little misleading.

AlamoShooter Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 The one I have is two paper thin steel washers with roll pins trapped between them. = its 1/8" thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anm2_man Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yep and it really works good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I bought three sets from McMaster - one for each 650, tried it, then removed and forgot about them. I don't have any problems without them, with no complications from more parts and wrong height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
