I've just added french locks to my next shopping list. They are MIA on the passenger side as well. Love these 25-year-old cars!

When I installed those Monro shocks last year it seemed intuitive to cover the lower shock area and bushing with the cupped (concave) side of the washer. I can change that easily.

Just a heads up on the french locks, when I bought a set for mine they were pretty thin and IMO cheaply made and twisted up with just a little pressure...just garbage...I even put never sieze under the lip of the bolt and on the locks to deter them from twisting up.

GTR1999 sent me some he had that were of quality grade metal and they were night and day difference from that crap some vendors are selling. Not sure where he got them though.

Thanks for the heads-up. Gary does not participate here any longer but I know how to contact him.

[QUOTE=...Roger...;1574634126]Paul,
Not sure how I missed this post until today.
I didn't know they were Corvette specific , I don't think I have ever purchased these all my extras come with new hoses. I have 2 different sizes .450x.685x.061 and .446x.625x.062
Your choice , I'll just tape 4 of them to the inside of an envelope and drop them at the post office.
They were free to me so they are free to you.
( I'll email you for your address.)

Roger,

The washers arrived in the mail today. I wish to thank you sincerely, and publicly here, for such a fine gesture!
