where to get 8mm spring washers?

Postby xsspeed » Mon May 12, 2008 2:13 pm

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.

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