Did a little rough measuring (and I'm not good at it) but it seems to me there ought to be another washer in addition to the belleville washer on my Lyman sprue plate bolt. Indeed both molds I checked had 2 of the belleville ones so that the plate could be adjusted. Haven't checked but those 2 molds for comparison. Anyhow I put a 1/4" washer up there with the belleville one which made more sense to me.
Am I missing factory washers on there?
The 1/4" washer I used is a bit large and the thought of drilling out a smaller diameter one isn't a chore I'm looking forward to. Haven't actually cast with the molds yet though to see if it made adjusting the sprue plate any easier.
