I have what appears to be a disassembled 21A crab distributor. But I seem to be missing A 12179 Washer and a 12177 lock. It is to lock the 12175 shaft assembly and 12176 cam and weight assembly together? I do not see these two parts listed in any suppliers parts list. Anyone know if these are available ?
Upon closer scrutiny it seems as the fine lock was in the grove in the shaft assembly so I think I need only the 12179 thin washer roughly 3/8 ID and 3/4 OD.
Thanks Zeke

Good job Jim, thanks for your continual services offered/provided here on the Barn. Looking forward to attending your seminar at the Springfield, IL EFV-8 C/A CNM in August.

Does the thin washer lock the shaft and the cam weights together ? It looks as if the washer would be to big at the small lock. Or does the two pieces just sit together and the point plate snap ring hold all together. Thanks Zeke
