Thin washers
Hi
I have a 1994 Goldwing SE 1500 and I'm missing those thin washers that go on the connection where the air line connects to the right shock, one before the fitting and one after the fitting. I see partzilla doesn't even have it listed. Does anyone know where I can order them from, I wonder if I can get them at an auto parts store?
Thank you
Frank

Re: Thin washers
Thank you. I'll take the part with me to see if the thin washer will fit.

Re: Thin washers
There are two o-rings (not washers) before and an o-ring after the fitting.
I think you couldn't locate them on partzilla. Check the link and the picture below to install the parts correctly.

Edit: there are two o-rings not washers before the fitting.

Re: Thin washers
Keep in mind those are not regular washers. They are CRUSH washers. They are made out of soft metal (usually copper or aluminum) and their purpose is to deform and squish out slightly when compressed with the bolt. The idea is that they seal against any nicks or imperfections on the steel fittings being fastened together, to make an airtight seal. Regular steel washers will not seal properly.

Re: Thin washers
For some reason I thought that those washers were just really thin copper washers. I looked on Partzilla but under rear shock absorber and diagram showed the washers but the number for that line item wasn't even listed. Thanks guys. Oh anyone know what the torque value is when tightening this to the air shock? I'm almost ready to lower the bags, I'm just trying to figure out the correct order.
Thank you all again

Re: Thin washers
When I took the air hose off the air shock, I thought that the washers were missing, so in reality they were never there and I've been looking for something that doesn't even belong there..........oh Brother

That's going to help me a lot, I appreciate that you helped me.
