I am trying to figure out the health of my Spitfire 1500 thrust washers and
have run into more questions than answers. The Hayes manual gives the normal
end float as 0.006-0.014 but the Bentley manual says 0.004-0.008.
My measuring equipment is pretty poor but my measurements for pulley
movement is about 0.010 (give or take 0.003).
At what end float measurement, should I get serious about replacing the
thrust washers?
What should the float be set at (Hayes or Bentley)?
thanks, brent (I prefer help directly to b_martin@lifesci.lscf.ucsb.edu, as
I am on the digest).
