Hey gents, does any of you folks know the name or a source for the star shaped washers used on the old friction shocks?

Do you mean the cap that spreads the preload over the friction material, like these have?


My, what a steep learning curve. Erik II#5155

Yes! Just like the Offy Friction shocks have. I've searched for Star washers, Belleville washers, compression washers, conical washers. All come up with something else.

I was going to suggest you check Arizona Obsolete.

They used to be a So Cal dealer, but IIRC the So Cal francise went away.

But I can't find their phone number online anymore.

There is a So Cal listed in Phoenix on the So Cal Speedshop site.

You may want to give them a call.

Thanks, I looked at the site and didn't find anything. I just need the star washer (spring?). Talked to Speedway too and they told me they're build in China, can't call there! I may end up making them but I sure hope not.

Armond, Did you try asking this question on the H.A.M.B.? Lots of people see stuff there. Beater
