Warpy Washers for Parking Brake?

[gwitthans1]

Redoing my parking brake system on the M38A1 and while looking at new brake linings noticed that AJP is selling the "Always Missing Warpy Washers" that apparently hold the brake shoes in place.

I can't seem to find these washers on any parts book for the M38A1 but never the less I was about to order them $9 until I noticed the shipping for 3 washers was $15 so I have decided to ask if anyone else has seem these evasive washers and are they really needed?

Might be able to find them on the net, try doing a search for Spring washers, Wavy or Wave washers ( heck check CJ-5 parts ).These wave washer provides slight back pressure usually just to keep things from rattling ( I have one on my Deuce hood support rod )

As Bill said they do help with rattling shoes.
Surely you can order something else you need to justify the shipping.

Thanks Guys, there is a nut and bolt place few miles from here and I think I will see what he has. I had just never seen them in the parts or repair manuals and if they will take up some of the "Rattling" it's worth trying.
