Special Solid Bronze Alloy Thrust Washers
http://members.aol.com/trmgafun/thrust_washer.html
These special solid bronze alloy (not an Oilite type material) thrust washers consist of all the key ingredients that
enables them to perform much better than the outdated OEM style alloy plated steel washer. They consist of a
solid material, so there are no unpleasant costly surprises that take place when the washer plating wears through
to the very undesirable steel surface from use, such as with the steel OEM style washer.
