The one I am measuring came from Bruce and realize that it is split and measurement may not be exact, but it'll be dang close. ID 0.37,OD 0.63, 0.03 thick as measured with a Harbor Freight digital caliper. Very Happy Also some of them are wavy but measure the same.

They have a drawer at our local Ace Hardware called "Nylon Spacers". That might be a good local source for a part that will work. I usually match the size to one of the other ones on the Steel when I go on the hunt for a needed part.
Can you post a pic?

Danny when you say it’s split do you mean thats the way Bruce installed it or is it split by accident?

I don't know if Bruce bought them split or split them himself. The split is there so you can slip them over the cross shaft without removing it. The nylon washers I'm talking about just remove endplay from the cross shaft. You can split them yourself. I would just use a set of side cutter pliers probably. Some of the washers I have are wavy, some are not.
