B1 lower unit rebuild
I just ordered all the parts for a rebuild. I rebuilt the other lower 3 years ago and dont recall running into this problem.
Problem: I ordered the load ring (also called a crush ring) for the bearing carrier which eliminates shims on the aft end of the propshaft. The parts diagram says you have to use thrust washer Part #12-812700 (.105") with the load ring. This part is no longer available. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Thanks, it looks like it was a different part #. The load ring #s are the same between the B1 and B1xr so I guess that will work. Thanks a bunch.
