WC Lazy Back Thumb Screw

Post by dpcd67 » Mon Mar 26, 2018 6:57 am

Can anyone tell me what the big thumb screw that holds the lazy backs in place on the WC trucks looks like? I have pictures of them but not clear ones. Is it cast, stamped, or? I know it has a big washer as part of it. For my WC63.
I don't have one at all.

This is what John shows on his website. Also included the photo from the old website which shows a little more detail of the business end:

I saw these; it is a reproduction. I want to see an original.

Great; that would be awesome. My 63 had none with it.
