I have a '98 916 and am in the process of reassembling the front end after getting the forks serviced and getting new Marchesini 10 spoke forged aluminum wheels. I noticed that there was no steel washer under the front axle nut, but that the parts exploded diagram showed one. The dealer said they are not available. Does anyone know if these are available and where? I don't like the idea of the nut bearing directly on the aluminum lower leg of the fork. I could get one made, too.
