What would be the best online resource for them? also do i need to use spacers in-between the scales and the blade?


Thanks John

microfasteners.com is often recommended on this site. I ended up using amazon.com because the shipping was going to a blot compared to what I was buying.

I'll leave the spacer question to people with more experience.

Often referred to as thrust washers

I did look on amazon. What search term should I use to find them?

I found them on micro fasteners and then searched Amazon for what they were called. I think it was 00 for the outer washers. In the workshop library there is an entry for where to buy stuff and I think it also gives you the part numbers.
