Been a slow rebuild. Work and school eat up my time. Almost done though. Needs a tune since I switched to the 02 pcm and a couple of other "minor" things.

they are countersunk aluminum washers, he powder coated them black.

I'm sure he will chime in where he bought them from because I can't remember where he told me he got them from.

PCM connectors have to be re-pinned.

Do you happen to have the size of the washers used underneath the finishing [AKA "beauty"] washers?

Please do for both messages!

I have about 20 of those finishing washers that I've been meaning to use, but wanted some extra surface area coverage from a second set of washers for a few of the areas (like airbox, headlight brackets, fenders). Never got around to ordering the allen head screws or extra fender washers.
