skippydiesel Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Hi all, Looking for an Australian/NZ supplier of "plastic" (as in Nylon/Teflon/ Fabric/ etc) gutter/fender washers. ID 5 mm - 5.5mm (can enlarge small hole) Thickness, around 1mm +/- .5mm OD min 30- max 35mm (Can be imperial equivalent) Need X 10 - will purchase extra if required. For wheel pant securing, under large metal washers, to protect paint/glass. Essentra Components have them (PN 17W12580) but unsure from where they are coming from (shipping$$) and how long that might take. All suggestions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueadventures Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Easy enough to make with a hole saw. Maybe even a Wad Punch set. Try hole saw first out on 1mm nylon sheet. Cheers. Edited October 17, 2023 by Blueadventures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sorry, don’t recall but I’ve used them on #10 gauge pan head St/steel screws to secure my spinner to its backing plate.

skippydiesel Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 Thanks Thruster - EBAY only goes up to 15mm OD - I am looking for 32 mm OD but will take slightly smaller or larger (ID 5mm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Why not make them from soft leather? Only 10. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 With a wad punch set and a sheet of plastic or felt, you can punch them out in less than 5 mins. I've got 2 sets of these punches (below) in metric and imperial sizes, let me know the material you want them made from, and I'll punch them out for you. It could take a week for AP to get them to you, though. https://toolkitdepot.com.au/maun-wad-punch-kit-metric-10-pcs-5mm-32mm-ma1000-05/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw4bipBhCyARIsAFsieCwfRr1noFzjH4o1dB0fHQ2eJzu4MP2qUvBBdK-bzu3XHwNBeA111CMaApw0EALw_wcB Seem like the Essentra deal is for a minimum of 1000 washers, and they'll be coming from the U.S., for sure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmccarthy Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 By coincidence I just made six out of soft leather today. Bumper bracket to body on a Triumph car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a plate, container / lid or thin cutting board. Anything that is flat from an automotive parts store or big W etc. Even lay up some mat and epoxy in a couple of layers and use hole saw to fabricate the washers.

Marty_d Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I could print you some, but I don't know if you need a certain type of plastic or strength. They'd be PLA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't you printer take ABS, or nylon? It's just a matter of setting the temperature of at the printer nozzle. However, if you are prepared to have them as sacrificial, then the PLA would be easy to print out in bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I only got it about a week ago. Only used PLA, don't want to mess with the settings too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Skippy, here you go, Boltmasters have what you want. Unfortunately there's no Boltmasters locations in NSW, you'll have to get them posted from Brisbane or Melbourne. https://www.boltmasters.com.au/washers/round-washers/metric-fender-mudguard-washers-nylon/m6-x-32-x-1-6-nylon-mudguard-flat-washer-dwrmn32 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onetrack - close enough. 5 mm ID would have been perfect but I can live with 6 mm. Also my thanks for your kind offer to punch them out for me - my Son has a laser thingy and can cut them (I think) but of course I will have to bring forward his inheritance to sweeten the deal 🙃 Edited October 18, 2023 by skippydiesel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
