What are them itty bitty rubberized washers called?

[JEEPRUSTY]

Trying to do a Lookup. I ordered some from PartsOutlaw but the charged me for them and did not deliver.

Do you mean Dowty seals?

[JEEPRUSTY]

That is the name. Damnable difficult things to get for some reason. Now I need to know what size the OEM is. Cannot have my natty new petcock going without new seals.

Yes they are known as dowty seals, but there is another name for them and I was going to look them up as well, but where the hell did the Boulevard Suzuki parts fiche go?

Anyway, they are located on the temperature sending unit on the '79 GS1000 temperature sending unit housing, they don't show them on the petcock. The originals were fiber, the newer ones are rubberized coated washers. I have used Teflon in a pinch.

Sealing washers- 1/4 inch size works perfectly on petcock mounting bolts; available at most hardware stores for like 33 cents each

I am trying so hard to recall what they had them listed in on the parts fische, gangland exhaust washers come to mind.

[landshark]

They are also called Bonded washers. No one understands Dowty Seals over here!

I thought Dowty Seals were endangered (extinct?).

Don't tell bccap that, he'll go after them next.
