Radius arm bushings

Well I found half a set. But I still don’t think this would even get me to the correct position. Was the og castle nuts taller? Mine stripped during disassembly. And am I missing something from the old besides the castle nuts? It’s just these 2 washers right? Shiny one is just a regular 3/4 washer for context..

So either find a nut or make a fat washer from some steel plate I guess. Maybe I can find out how tall it was

I just measured and the castle nuts are 3/4” tall.

was about to mention this before i saw pg 2... not only taller, but also have a recess in on the leading edge. (can't recall if the shaft goes through the washer and sits in here or not)
