I just put my Fairy OD back on after a gearbox rebuild using a new tab/lock
washer. Only one of the tabs lined up, but more importantly the other tabs
were a little bit too long. They stuck up just enough to keep the OD from
sliding all the way on, quite frustrating until I realized. I ended up
chiseling the little pieces of tab that stuck proud from the edge of the
mainshaft nut. Do yourself a favor before installing/tightening the nut and
trim enough off the ends of the tabs until the washer is the same max.
diameter as the nut.
