The thrust washer should be identical to that fitted beneath the ball race - a matching pair.

They often stick to the underside of the turntable, which is then put down on the bench. The washer is then dislodged, and gets lost!

It seems to be a plain washer but made of a bluish metal, rather thin, and presumably smoother and flatter than your average washer.

I suspect the same washer was used across the BSR range for decades, so your chances of finding a spare from someone here are high.

The lid should have left, right and curved front felted. Not the back where the hinge is.

Nick.

PS I have LOADS of pics of my UA6 stripped right down if you need any to look at. They're very modular and can be stripped completely without too much difficulty. Whether you need to is another matter though.
