Ian Barrett Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Morning all, I've found the source of my diff oil leak was a blocked breather, so that's all cleaned up and the oil changed - at 5am this morning because I couldn't sleep! Everything I've read tells me the breathers should have copper crush washers, but on both of my diff breathers I've found fibre washers both above and below the banjo. Fibre washers seem easier to find from BandQ and the likes, whereas copper seem a sbit more difficult. So is there any reason I shouldnt just get some new fibre washers and use them?

GW8IZR Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 There is no real pressure , if I didn't have copper I would be happy with fibre or aluminium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephencdavies Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 i put copper washers on because that's what was on there and i had a box of different sizes, but there's no reason why you cant use fibre. its only a sealing washer. we all use fibre washers at home and the pressure is probably much greater.
