In the diagrams for these filters, as shown in the 49-53 parts book, there is a part that I don't have in either of my filters. It appears to fit into the bottom of the top spring, possibly to prevent chaffing of the rubber gasket on top of the filter. Is this part necessary?
When disassembling the filters for cleaning and painting neither had this washer (?). Is this part available or does anyone have a couple I could buy or can anyone give me the dimensions and how it's fitted to the spring so I can make them? Thanks,
Howard
