Does anyone know what the thickness of the synthane washer are supposed to be when new? I just reinstalled my bell housing after doing my bellows job and found I have some side to side play on the hinge pins. The synthane washers are silver colered so I'm wondering if they are worn down and full of metal. I don't see any signs of excessive wear on the castings themselves. I ordered new washers, but while I wait for them, I'm wondering if they are gonna be super thin like the ones I have, or if they will be thicker and fix the issue.

I can't find any thickness info on the web.

EDIT: Sorry, Alpha 1 Gen 2

Don't know, but they are thin. With side play, probably have other issues depending on how much

New washers showed up today. They are quite a bit thicker than my old ones.. I didn't have a chance to install them yet, hopefully tomorrow, then I'll report back.
