Hi folks, does any of you know where I can get a few original Floyd Rose nylon washers that fit the tremolo arm post of the early version Floyds? I have included a pic. I cannot seem to find any.

Uff just the nylon washers? Thats going to be a tough one. I only see them selling the complete "old style" arm (that I bought btw and like more than the collar type) http://www.floydrose.com/catalog/parts/original-series/tremolo-arm-old-style

If you still have the old washers maybe on a good hardware store you cand find them or cut one down to size.

Hey Rusty, this site is useful for Floyd bits (http://www.axcessories.com/index.htm), I bought some saddle shims and a brass sustain block from them. Oh and an intonation setting tool (only works with original longer string clamp Allen bolts though, my other Schaller lic FR has much shorter bolts so it doesn't work with it  :facepalm: ). Personally I prefer the later version arm (which I changed to years ago) as you can vary the tightness of the arm.

Thanks rnolan, thats a good site for floyd parts. It looks like I have to get the whole arm and nut thing together tho' but hey it's cheap enough. thank you.  :)

Hey Rusty, no worries  :wave: , the bits MikeB and I bought weren't too expensive either, and they delivered promptly etc  :thumb-up: and better, everything fitted perfectly  :whoohoo!: .
