I have never had nor seen any Model A with metal 'washers' or gaskets in this place, maybe not using the original fiber means it will leak ?? I've never used metal ones, never used any kind of 'sealer' just the plain old fiber washer..... Jerbo
So you saying you don't use the copper washer to seal around the bolt? I would think it would leak. https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/P...earchByKeyword
