      Looking for the part numbers and/or place to buy the nut and/or hardware referenced in the ACR-X manual.

      Due to the very limited clearance between the front brake package and the Sidewinder wheel, all
      front brake studs incorporate an aircraft quality low profile nut, assembled in the sequence
      shown below. The thin gold washer (shown as #3) is used to aid installation of the stainless steel
      brake straps. During torque, this thin washer helps reduce the amount of rotation of the stainless
      steel strap. However, it also easily deforms and is meant to be a one-time use only. During
      service, replacement of this thin washer is recommended whenever the rotors are changed.

      The low profile nuts are no longer available and will have to make your own. I called Tom Francis awhile ago for these. Not sure on the rest of the stuff as I haven’t lost any of it.

      Found what I needed at http://www.wicksaircraft.com, 7/16-20 low profile flange nut.
      Would like to thank Tom for trying to use his contacts.

      Aircraft Spruce.com also carries the hardware. This stuff is common aircraft hardware.
