Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian - Project

[David Dunlop]

I first posted on this back in 2022, on Page 27, Post #782, when I first got enough useful information sorted out.

Since that time, this project has been plodding along and as I found situations anywhere in the 52-Set where none original washers had been installed, made notes of the locations so they could all be replaced once I had sourced the required correct washers.

For the most part North American Standard Shakeproof Washers (usually called Internal Tooth Lock Washers) are easy to find but in the modern, prepackaged hardware world, are rediculous in price, often working out to a dollar or more each. While reaching the web again recently, I discovered Graingers, here in Canada, carry many of these washers in Lots of 100, for typically less that $4.00 per Lot, and they have a store just 10 minutes from home. Bonus!

I have been ordering these washers over the last few weeks and my wife donated a surplus crafting supplies box to my cause to store them in. The box was a great choice because the dividers are fully molded into the case so the smaller washers cannot slide between the compartments. And rather than labeling each compartment I simply did a single ID Sheet on the computer to pop into the lid, which can be easily changed out if and when needed.
