M100 reflectors

Post by henrydes »

Should have taken pictures....Have lead washers that were used to attach the reflectors on the M100 but forgot if they went under the bolt or the nut. Any help or picture would be appreciated. The manual shows steel washers under the bolt but the original lead washer seem to be too big to fit there...

On my M100, from the inside out is: bolt, lead washer, trailer, reflector, lock washer, nut. I believe the lead washer was used on the inside of the trailer to help make it water proof.

Lead washers of the right size are hard to find. For me anyway. They are used on the fuel tank also.
I would be grateful if someone would sell me the amount required for the trailer and jeep.

A possible lead washer make-do: Flatten a
muzzle loader round ball and drill a hole in it.
Also, some roofing nails come with a lead
washer as well.

Now that you mentioned it, I have some 38 spl. cast lead bullets that would probably work quite well.
