Apologies to the list, I was mistaken about the pre-'62 Weinmanns. Okay, they do use plastic bushings/washers on each side of the arms. I must have overhauled the '62-64 Weinmanns. I remember them using brass washers. The catalog does NOT list the washers (brass or plastic) for the '62-64 version. Unfortunately, I do not have a '62-64 brake caliper to disect...Here is a link to the Weinmann diagram:
