Yes the are necessary, they act as a spring for the steering rocker shaft.

For sure you need the belleville washers, and correctly installed as well. You
need 6 of them. They act as a spring in the steering box. I've seen a steering
box that missed 3 of them, that didn't work well.
AH Spares have them for ?3,25 plus VAT.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what the material, OD, ID, thickness, dish or

supplier.

The Moss catalog calls for 6 'belleville' washers under the rocker shaft
in the late BN, early BN4/6 steering box (Moss part# 725-115). Mine doesn't
appear to have ever had them; anyone know if they're required? I'm guessing
yes, because otherwise the rocker shaft looks like it rests on a rough surface
but, they list for $12.79/ea, and if they're not necessary--or if anyone knows
of a cheaper alternative--I'd prefer not to spend that much.
TIA,
Bob
