wiring question

[Omarttentmaker]

Looking at the pieces that make up the assembly for the fiber board that goes between the top and bottom trees on a glide. Why is there an insulated washer under the head of the screw? the board is already insulated, as it is made out of, I'd guess, phenolic. Anybody?

I pulled one off the wall, Omar!

And they look cad/rusty to me...

PS: The phenolic is often called Micarta.

When I said "looking", I meant at the assembly drawing in the spare parts book. The part number is 71098-38, and it is described as a screw insulator. The dash number would indicate that it was used somewhere else on the bike earlier, but I kinda scanned through a few of the electrical sections and didn't see it repeated. The index only shows it appearing on page 170 of the spare parts book.

The terminal board for the fork uses hex head bolts with nuts and washers. The picture I believe you are looking at is the hardware for the metal terminal box behind the coil.

You are correct, Robbie. My mistake!
