cirrostratus Posted December 28, 2021 Report Posted December 28, 2021 Any tips on where to find these fancy washers? LASAR has them for $0.10/ea but their shipping is crazy. Buy $5 worth of washers and pay $25 in shipping. The CB in me says that’s “nuts” (not a wash for a washer) Someone mentioned Amazon, search using “Chicago washer”? But they are not SS? Rust issues?

N201MKTurbo Posted December 28, 2021 Report Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) I get them at the ace hardware store. Probably cheaper to order them from Laser. They are common parts. Finish washer. That washer appears to be nickel plated brass. http://www.indexfasteners.com/Resources/pdf/Auveco.pdf https://www.ebay.com/itm/402640170114?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28 Edited December 28, 2021 by N201MKTurbo 2

LANCECASPER Posted December 29, 2021 Report Posted December 29, 2021 Aircraft Spruce also has what you need and you can ship via USPS or UPS. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/hapages/finishingwashers.php?clickkey=14605 2
RLCarter Posted December 29, 2021 Report Posted December 29, 2021 Pretty common hardware, if your only needing a couple ask one of the locals that work on their own plane, more than likely they will have some……. I hate paying shipping, so I keep a list of items I need/want and use it as “fillers” to get to the minimum for free shipping…. There 5 or 6 of us that keep a list and are generally out a the airport regularly so between us we can generally get an order together fairly quick 2
