Putting a Ruckstell back together, the right Ford side I have a 2 steel washers, a bronze and a fiber one. I know the steel washers go on either end. The bronze goes in between, but I'm confused on where to put the fiber washer. Does it matter which side of the bronze?

The fiber goes in the bell between the diff and same not on the outside Ford side. I suggest you get the Ruckstell book, gives all the info on set up and where parts go.

Thanks Mark, I have both books but reading through I couldn't find anything about the fibre washer.

See section 18, page 25 of the MTFCA Ruckstell book. :-)

I use the fiber washer in all of my Ruckstells. It's a shame that Glen Chaffin refuses to make them. I've had to have my own made because of this. I believe the thickness is .105".
