Does anyone know where to find concave washer retainers for EB3 Type shock mounts (most of our busses)? Refer to attachment. It's funny because Gabriel's Technicians & Engineers had no idea & it's their Technical bulletin! Main reason why I'm asking is when tightening new shock mounts on our 4104 - the dust tubes distort off center and nearly rub the shock wall - which IMHO will lead to premature failure.

Mounting kits for EB3 (and more) here page 247 I think...
An eye stud dia search will narrow it down, I assume it is 1 inch ?
See page 247 for kit part #'s

Well alrighty then, Eagle & Chessie nailed it! Page 252 kit # 145148. I even found that info in Gabriel's catalog & their tech & engineers didn't have a clue. So sad...... Thanks Guys, Kudos to you 8)
