just me Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The photos show the Herz timer from our two cylinder Buick What is the purpose of the washer? Is there a source for a replacement washer as this one is cracked. Does the timer appear to be complete? Thanks in advance Charley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricosan Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Charley, If you can’t find one, I think you could easily reproduce one with simple shop tools. It’s a bit of fiddly work but the satisfaction of having repaired it yourself would be so worth it IMHO. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 There may have been a felt seal between the washer and the shaft that drives the timer. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Looks like some form of spring washer, similar to a Belleville spring but probably the grooves give a weaker thrust force. What year Buick? I think I have a similar timer somewhere in my flea market pile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Wetherbee Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Thank you for dating it for me. I found it today, it’s price is $60.00 if you want a spare and the spring looks a little less worn out than yours. Here’s the picture of the one I am talking about: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
