Description
Overview:
This genuine Nylon Thrust Washer (MPN 29878) is designed for vintage Villiers and JAP industrial engines. Made from durable, low‐friction nylon in a flat, circular form, it sits between mating components to carry axial loads and reduce face‐to‐face wear. By controlling end float and limiting metal‐to‐metal contact, it helps engines run smoothly and prolongs the life of shafts, gears, and housings. Ideal for restorers and maintenance professionals working on classic Villiers or JAP units, it offers an authentic, direct OE replacement. Supplied as unused old stock, the washer may show minor storage marks or light discolouration but remains structurally sound and ready for service. Use it to retain original build quality while maintaining reliable operation in vintage industrial engines.
