Hey Randy, The small screws for the rectangular housing under the handle assembly don’t use washers. The handle assembly screws topside originally used a hard fiber gasket #301814. The cheapest I usually see are around $2 each. I’ve used other alternative hard fiber gaskets that have held up well to the tightening, better than cork holds up. I can send you 8 of the alternatives in a stamped envelope if you want.
The exception to the screws using gaskets was a screw they used that had a recess that took an o-ring. I don’t know how many years it was used.
