Request for pix of original plastic white washer under the 67 seat release lever

[Brian E.]

In the past year I've received 2 different sets (one set of leather headrest seats and one set of standard vinyl non headrest seats) of 67 seats from Al Knoch Interiors and both sets of seats were not assembled with the white plastic washer under the seat release lever in my 67 seats. See the 67 AIM in the pictures below. This is no problem as these little washers are inexpensive and can be added easily. I recently ordered (from one of the repro parts vendors) and just received a set of plastic white washers that are supposed to be installed under the seat release lever in my 67 seats. The 67 judging guide mentions a white plastic washer but these washers I received today are thicker and more conspicuous than what I imagine the original plastic washers to be, but maybe these white plastic washers look exactly the way the original washers did??? I don't know for sure because I wasn't around back then, nor do I have an original unrestored seat I can look at to compare.
.
Can someone with known original 67 seats share some close-up pictures of their seat release lever(s) showing the original washer so I can see what an original washer is supposed to look like? Thanks in advance.
.
PS: when having seats restored at AKI be sure to inquire about the installation of this washer because if the washer is not installed the release lever can/will scratch the chromed surface of the adjacent hockey stick (ask me how I know).
