i seem to remember that located under the Mk1 Wiper Wheel Box Retaining Nut there was a "Stainless Cup Washer" that squashed up onto that odd angle tube rubber that covered / positioned the wiper box thread ? .. in other words the wiper box securing nut did not just contact that wiper box securing rubber .. looking at MS / Somerford drawings no Cup Washers are not shown or listed .. i seem to remember these cup washers were used to position & stop the Rubber sleeve splitting when the Wheel Box Chrome Nut gets over torqued .
Any suggestions ?

Not heard of or seen that item before Norman

I've checked the parts manual AKD3509 and nothing like that is shown.

Thanks Andrews .. i getting old me-thinks

I can 100% recall the washers you mean. Yellowy stainless flimsy things.
Haven’t seen any for years now though

They sound like the ones used on the seat belt bolts

Thanks Roly .. so i am not mad yet ..even though that could well become reality if i cant find those flimsy stainless washers ..
