0243204 Lockwasher, clutch release lever

Specifically designed for the later 45 inch W models produced between 1944 and 1952, this Samwel lockwasher is essential for securing the clutch release lever. It replaces OEM 37081-44 and is sold as a pair to ensure both sides of the lever assembly remain tight and vibration-resistant. For owners of post-war WL and WLA models, using the correct year-specific hardware is key to a faithful restoration and reliable operation. These lockwashers prevent the release lever from loosening during use, which is critical for maintaining consistent clutch adjustment and shifting performance. They are a simple, high-quality solution for anyone looking to maintain the mechanical standards of their vintage Harley-Davidson.
