where to get 8mm spring washers?

[xsspeed]

anyone know where to get 8mm spring washers?tried mitre 10 and repco yesterday, ended up getting some 5/16ths but they are obviously a bit big.
asked if they could get some in but the dude reckond the manufacturer (champion(?)) only did 6mm and 10mm in metric around that size.

Any local bolt shop will do fine, or even engineering suppliers.
EDL
Blackwood/Paykel
Just look up fasteners in yellow pages.

cheers sergei, so any place should be sweet, no preferred place thats both cheap and good quality? (i know i know cheap and good in the same sentence)

We use them at work, get them from steel n tube.

Most places should have them tho, I got some from EDL (I think) not sol ong ago

, ended up getting some 5/16ths but they are obviously a bit big.

5/16" is about 7.9mm, so if the are really 5/16 you shouldnt have a problem.

5/16" is about 7.9mm, so if the are really 5/16 you shouldnt have a problem.

is it?, they seem quite big on the 8mm, will need to check, maybe they are 7/16ths

7/16 is pretty much 11mm,
5/16 washers are generlly sweet on 8mm bolts

steel and tube
