A kool hotrod mod just occured to me...

The steel keyed washer that came with the Gran Sport headsets (intro'd in 1956) had - C A M P A G N O L O - I T A L Y - C A M P A G N O L O - I T A L Y - stamped around the edge. Sweet!

You could recreate that sweet 2mm Gran Sport washer out of the later 4mm Super Record flanged aluminum keyed washer with the lettering around the channel by machining off the flanges! Instant 2mm aluminum keyed washer with lettering!!!

Cowabunga!
