Hi guys
Can someone please confirm if these sealing washers are supposed to be copper or fibre. Thanks

Not sure how clear the pic is sorry, but I’m referring to the sealing washers behind the rocket oil feed pipe. Cheers

Whilst fibre washers are what was used originally you can use copper washers, or what I use are aluminium washers that are used on hydraulics I find that because they are soft they seal much better than fibre or copper.

Yep I second the use of aluminium washers. They are a truly excellent seal.
