Re: thrust washers
Don't worry I found the 4th one.
All four go on the centre bearings?

Re: thrust washers
Everything else that needs to be in a box is in a box.
The other two came off with the lower main end caps, but the two above came out when the crank came out with me forgetting they were there, hence ending up on the ground.

Chinese takaway tubs are great for this.
Plus your bearings smell of Chow mein.

I prefer to invest in full ice cream tubs.
