On an ‘A’ Series engine the primary gear thrust washers are made in varying sizes to take up any play.
The standard gap size should be between 3-6 thou., but Mini Spares offers various shims (DAM6486-7-8-9-90-92) as alternatives which step up in two thou. increments (which is the recommended tolerance).
Now Mini Spares has introduced a new thrust washer for the 1275cc crankshaft – part number DAM6492 – which is wider in width, to counteract wear. DAM6492 is 122-124″ thick making it the thickest shim available in this range.
Retail price £29.40 including VAT.
