[cool79]

would you mirror be loose? mine is a bit loose. I keep folding my mirror and now one of the side became loose...

Old topic - 

Right mirror was a bit loose so I took it off and cleaned the ball bearings and the plate with the indents and gave it a thin smear of grease.

Took out the washer stack and cleaned them up a bit and put them back in the same orientation as mcatrophy posted (())(()).  The coating was coming off a couple of them and there was some evident corrosion. With the coating gone, I expect corrosion will get worse despite the fact that I greased them lightly and they will lose their "spring".  Anybody know where you can get replacements for these?  Yamaha parts fiche doesn't list them separately that I could find.

RossKean,

www.anywho.com  is the for-real Yellow Pages on the Internet.  Nuts and bolts is a separate business heading there.  Click the YP tab, put in that heading, and give a local ZIP code.  You will get a list of local fastener sellers.  You can Sort that list by Distance, with that ZIP code.  Measure what you have, and call ahead to verify stock.  I don't think the spring-washer dimensions are too critical, for the mirrors.

McMaster-Carr has replacements, I just put new washers in mine due to the rust. The M-C washers are found under the listing of Belleville (sp?) washers. The ones I chose were stainless steel so won't have to worry about the rust. They come in packs of 12 so I bought 2 packs since there are 16 washers required. The part # is: 96475K346. $9.67 per.   2 required. Shipping is $7.50 usually. Pretty fast, UPS.

The dimensions are: 10mm I.D. 20mm O.D.   0.9mm thick. 

I also have some new black flange nuts if you would like I can mail you some. They are not acorns but I couldn't find them anywhere. These work perfectly and are not visible when installed. Had to buy a bag of them so I have extras. 

Hope this helps

Probably not critical but I would get Yamaha parts (if available) - just because I know they are right.

I know pretty much all the local places for hardware and haven't really asked around for these.  One of those things I don't need right now but likely will in the future.  Has anyone replaced these washers?

Thanks.

Acorn nuts are OK.  I can order from MC in Canada.  Pretty pricy for washers!

I wonder if the SS has similar springiness?  Probably won't do anything until the next time I have them apart.

The McMaster-Carr stainless Belleville washers were identical dimensionally to the originals. I installed them in the same orientation with some marine grease on the stem and on the 

rotating area after cleaning the rust out of the detents. Smooth as butter.

Should have looked on the forum first...this worked perfectly!
