Boot Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi, Wondering if anyone can tell me whether I can obtain a replacement copper washer from gearbox on 1999 TD5 Defender 110 - I think the part number is FTC4112, easily on the high street / hardware store / car parts shop. Cannot find sizes/dimensions listed anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSIIA Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Take the old one down to Walker & Howell in Whaley, sort of thing they carry. Alternatively, Buxton 4x4 on the Common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boot Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Take the old one down to Walker & Howell in Whaley, sort of thing they carry. Alternatively, Buxton 4x4 on the Common. Nice one - cheers Dave! Any idea what size it is? Haven't removed the old one yet. Are they the same for engine sump and gear box by any chance?

mmgemini Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 What's wrong with annealing and re-using ? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSIIA Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Afraid I don't have the sizes to hand, but IIRC the sump washer is much small than the one for the gearbox. If there's no damage to the ones that are in then I'd just anneal them and re-use. If damaged, then they are only pence to replace so a quick trip to Buxton would guarantee the correct part.

TheBeastie Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Sorry - being a wee bit dim perhaps. Annealing - heat up to very hot and then allow to cool down naturally. Is that the process? Use a blow torch or can you just hold it in pliers and use the gas cooker (whilst SWMBO is away out shopping!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBeastie Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks for that link. Now I know a new technique! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Only do it on what I call proper copper washers. Not on those crushable things. They need renewing every time mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
