Topic: SJ Emergency brake handle hardware at Firewall

[Bob Gaines]

The assemblyline manual shows the nuts to be of the locking type with a separate washer for the Emergency brake handle hardware at the Firewall. I have found that and also the nut with attached but spinning toothed washer. I was wondering what others have seen as most prevalent for the SJ plant.

Separate washers with locking nuts, no tooth washers.  The nuts are slightly rounded on top.
