Hello,

does anyone know the sizes of the Kent-Moore No-384 spring shackle tension washer gauge, which is used for adjusting the shackles?

Thank you in advance, J. van Wanrooij

I found a picture in my 1931 Kent Moore Organization catalog but It did not give any sizes. I didn't know such a tool existed until I saw your post.
I think you can do a suitable job of tightening the bolt without the tool but it would be interesting to have one, or know the gauge thicknesses, as per your post.

Hi Mike,

thanks for the pictures, now I have an idea how the tool looks, now I hope someone else knows how thick the feeler gauges are!

There were several posts on this site which I used to set my washers. I am sorry I don't remember what gauge to use. Seems like Chipper had the info. I tried searching again no luck.
