Silly question re 1.6l engine

[zulu Delta 534]

Referring to my parts book on the 1.6l motor I notice that on top of the dizzy drive housing there is a cork/felt washer part#52278.
When I go to the next section re the dizzy itself it states that at the bottom of the distributor itself there is a felt/cork washer part #52278 and when assembled this would mean that these two washers butt up against each other.
The silly question is:
Are there two washers required, or is the one washer mentioned twice?
I sit here with baited breath awaiting the answer to this baffling riddle!

John, I tend to think so too as there is a recess in the housing to accept same and the second one seems to be simply superfluous to requirements as there is no where really for it to fit.
Best to be sure though I suppose. The workshop manual in this case is absolutely useless as the detail leaves a lot to the imagination.
Thanks for the prompt reply!

You're being a bit critical of the workshop manual.

to remove assembly:

1. disconnect the battery.
2. remove assembly,
3. using Rover tool number R12345678

... and you'll be O.K.!

to refit:

1. attach assembly
2. re-connect battery

!

You are right the Parts book has it drawn twice.

But there is actually only one washer when assembled

Next silly question is about a couple of weird nuts I have which I cant seem to find a place for anywhere nor do I recognise them as Land Rover parts, but, then again.....
There is every possibility that these parts do not fit this vehicle as when I came into possession of "Sweetpea" it was from an unfortunate case of the previous owner having to give up on a partially stripped down project because of ill health, and as a result I inherited a large box of nuts, bolts, hoses, pistons, rings, bearings and one million other assorted pieces all in a big box.
If anyone recognises these bits I would be very happy to hear from them.

The thread size looks to be around the 1/4" size but a rather coarse thread which throws grave doubts about them being actual parts of "Sweetpea".

This is where we are up to so far.

How sweet, a baby blue engine.

Now I know why the name "Sweet pea"

The nuts have me beat and I suspect you may be correct that they are off something else.

I can't think of anywhere they could go on a Landrover. It is possible that they go on some accessory though..
