Washer Size On Mini X-Ray Vision

[Paladin2443]

Hi folks

Does anyone know offhand the I.D. of the teflon washers on the Mini X-Ray? I want to replace them with phosphor bronze washers. If worst comes to worst, I'll take it apart, but it's a PITA to reinstall them because they're dark and it's very hard to tell when the top one is lined up with the pivot bushing. I found some washers online that are .005" thick, but they come in both 1/8" and 3/16" I.D.

Thanks for any info,

I'm also looking for washers for my Pentagon Elite II but having problems finding them.

The ones at www.kitknife.com have smaller internal diameter.

Please give me a head-up if you've got any info.

Thanks
Sean

Sean.......

I ordered both size washers from:

http://www.knifeandgun.com/catalog/folding_knife_parts_186662_products.htm

I'm sure that the Mini X-Ray uses the 1/8" I.D. washers, but for the price....what the hell. I also have a full size X-Ray, and I'm pretty sure the 3/16" washers will fit it, as well as your Pentagon. I think the thickness of these bronze washers (.005") will be very close to the thickness of the original teflon washers. This is all guesswork on my part. I'll let you know.
BTW, the lady I talked to was very pleasant and helpful.

I've enquire from knifeand gun too!!

But waiting for size confirmation from SOG which seems to take forever...

Please tell me if the washers fit the Mini and the X-Ray and I'll be going ahead with the order!

Thanks
Sean
