Can anyone help me find these unusual size washers?

[Skunkworks]

They are for the suspension on my mountain bike. I can buy them as part of a kit, but it costs £40 for an entire set of bolts when I only need 2 washers.

They are 10mm ID x 16MM OD x 2mm thick - stainless steel.

I can't seem to find them anywhere.

buy some 16mm washers and drill them out to 10mm, goto B&Q

Have you tried Screwfix?

I was hoping to avoid the dicking around, but that will be the last resort.

Have you tried Screwfix?

I've been trawling the internet for an hour, it seems to be a non-standard size.

Could be worth a shot. Might have a ridiculous minimum order though:

You must have a local fasteners supplier nearby? On an industrial estate or something? My local would probably give me 2 washers for free - hardly worth writing out a ticket.

Can you not get them 10x16x1 and just double up on the washers?

A local specialist engineering/hardware supplier will probably be your best bet.

Pretty sure the place I use down the road would be able to get, or would know where to get them.

If you want, I can make you some on the lathe easily enough. I do not have any Stainless Steel, but can easily order a piece of 304 Stainless. Would cost you a fiver including delivery. If I had some in stock, you could have had it for a couple of quid!

Local fasteners supply would be your he's bet, someone like Lincolnshire fastners for example.

what forks do you have on your bike, if you can give me a little more info i may be able to help, make, model and year pls + where exactly the washers are for

 

[DirtyJester]

OP if you've not got sorted yet let me know, I have stainless and can make you a couple no problem.

Looks like a shim washer as opposed to a std washer. May be tricky to find them in small quantities in st/sl

Some here but only 1.00mm, but you could use 2 I suppose

http://www.springfasteners.co.uk/product/shim_support_washer_10mm_x_16mm_x_1mm_din_988/

These are what you want but they don't do small quantity (but you could ring and ask for a sample!!)

But the kind offer from PhillyDee above looks good to me..

I found exactly what you want, 16MM OD X 10MM ID X 2MM THICK

Eighth product down, http://www.worldofwashers.com/page8.htm

It's £1 + £1.25 P+P = £2.25 in total.

Skunkworks: That's just a bog standard M10 stainless steel washers should be stock by most engineer merchants.

M10 washers are internal hole- 10.0mm , width 18mm -20.0mm OD, & 2.0mm thickness, so the perfect size.

Exactly what he wants, bar them being rubber and not steel.

But rubber and steel have such similar compression qualities I doubt it will matter.

LOL.. I noticed that, just hadn't got the heart to point it out this early in a morning. That said having a source for rubber washers is a good thing to know..

M10 washers are internal hole- 10.0mm , maximum width 20.0mm OD, have seen them slightly narrower & 2.0mm thickness, so the perfect size.

I have these in front of me. If they are suitable for the job let me know and I'll post some out.
