71 Vista cruiser O type rear cone washers
Cracked open the rear end cover today, and drained out all the oil. Everything looked good, oil was clean, no water.
When I drained the oil out of the pan however, I found a cone shaped washer, about .030 thick and stainless steel. I believe this part goes between the spider gears and the case of the inner case.
Any idea were to get these? both are now missing from the spider gears.
While I have it apart figure I will replace all the outer axle bearings and seals. What bearing set, and outer seals do I need for the wagon axles.

Ok another question about the bearing races? One side is tight in the tube, the other I can pull out until it is flush with the tube then it stops. Is this a problem? or can I reinstall them with aviation gasket material and it be ok, or something similar?

Yes,that is the Vista style end,which takes the SET10 bearings.They offset the shock mounts inboard,to make additional room for the wider 2.5" brake shoes,and special offset backing plates.This kept the overall track width the same as the cars.
