Michael,
The washer is a "waved washer". It is paper thin washer and available
from The Roadster Factory for $.49, but you probably source one at a
good hardware store and save $5.00 in shipping While I'm sure the latch
will work without it, it does serve as a barrier to keep the chrome
latch handle from rubbing and wearing against the latch escutcheon.
Oh, and the list doesn't allow files to be sent.

I had to replace the top latching pin on my 1974 TR6. I over tighten the
screw holding the latch and broke the head off and can not remove the
screw. I procured the hardware at a local hardware store. The photo in
the Victoria British catalog show a washer between the top latch handle
and the top latching pin. When I removed my hardware for the top
latching I did not see the item shown in the catalog. I have included a
file from the catalog page. Do I need to install this washer for proper
function of the mechanism. I was told that a bevel washer goes between
the units.
