I took the hood off my 47 KB1 during the disassembly. I found that 3 hinge bolts had a thin brass washer, and 3 did not. Are they all supposed to have the washer, or was there one extra? Im thinking they all originally had one between the hinge and hood.

I believe all the brass goes between any metal on metal movement. I put my hood on awhile back and put those in the wrong places and once I lifted it, the squeaks and groans made me remember... Still need to fix that...

That would make sense, but then it looks like Im missing more than 3.

Maybe just make some, with a small thin plate/sheets of brass from a hobby store and just cut some out with metal shears. Where they usually keep brass and aluminum tubing.

Good idea. Thanks!

The plastic lids for yogurt containers can be easily punched to make a very slippery spacer. My wife buys very thin cutting board sets that are a very slippery plastic. I have used this material to make the reduced friction spacers.
The reproduction washers for my Old Ford are spring wave washers.

All good ideas. Thank you!
