Fellow Builders,
This idea isn't anything new but I decided to post it for those who might have not thought to do it.
There are situations where washers are used center rod ends on the control weldments and bellcranks throughout the RV's. If you haven't experienced trying to get some of these washers in position it can be very time consuming and frustrating.
One very simple solution is to glue them to the weldment. I decided to do this after some very frustrating washer moments.
Even though you may never need to take a pushrod out, or remove a bellcrank, gluing the washers in place will help with the initial installation.
I used JB weld (good stuff) and clamped the washer in place with a bolt while curing. Took a little time but it is well worth it.
Enjoy,
