I'm putting my P200 back together and I forgot the order of the washers on the seat post and can't find any close-ups online.
I have the cup washer and 2 flat washers so what order is it and which way does the cup washer go? Anyone know?

Thanks garncarz,
That diagram doesn't show which way the cup washer sits. I'm assuming that it sits as a cup on the bottom, because the seat sits would sit too high.

the edges of the cup sit pointing up, it's an anti theft device to make it hard to shim the latch open.

you can add washers between the cup and the pin or below the cup as needed to get the right position.

Ok, that makes sense now.
Finally the answer.
Thanks 🙏🏼

Not sure if you meant the cup or the pin. I put links to the cup. Dino put a link to the pin in post below.

ScooterMercato has them.

So does ScooterWest.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the washer? I want to swap the cup washer for a flat plastic one.

The cup washer is 1.5 mm thick and I have another regular washer, but really, all that matters is when you put your seat down, you have enough spacers so that your seat rests nicely and the latch clicks into place and doesn't rattle.

Mine's a bit high with just the cup washer and the seat rocks a little. Add to that the cup washer stopping you breaking into the underseat if you have a problem with the lock, and I'm just looking at a plastic washer to protect the paint. It's the hole and washer diameter that I'm interested in.
