Hey all, just got around to taking apart a 2062 I bought (feeding my incipient vintage reel   acquiring issue, lol). Anyway, the Level Wind Screw (x18) was rattling around loose in the body and I couldn't find two of the washers (x18w, x16w) shown on the schematic. Wondering whether anybody knows the dimensions of those washers or are they really shims? And if they are available?

Wow, thanks Joe for the quick answer. I was thinking they might be shims and I might have something close to the bigger one in the lower pic among some extra Mitchell 300 parts I have. Not sure about the other one. Anyway, thanks again - this site is amazing!
