Bob,
I figured height of the spring was also important, so I put 2 together and
measured the height with calipers
Height of 2 washers: 0.100 inches
Height of 1 washer: 0.050 inches
Thickness of washer: 0.025 inches
Checking the previous diameter dimensions with a caliper, I get:
ID: 1.057 inches
OD: 1.5 inches
I suspect that the ID is originally spec'd to be 1-1/16" but because of the
slight "spring", the diameter is slightly less. Good luck

Subject: RE: [Healeys] Belleville washers in BN2 steering box
I just pulled mine out of a steering box I am rebuilding, and yes there are 6
positioned as such: ()()() Where only the outer edges touch. The dimensions
are as follows:
ID: 1-1/16
OD: 1-1/2
Pictures of the measurements are attached for verification purposes.
The washers were loose on the shaft, but I think the closer tolerance is going
to be on the OD side.

Subject: [Healeys] Belleville washers in BN2 steering box
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
