Thread: Cheap source of #0 brass washers

Including shipping, it's around $8 for a pack of 100. They come in two flavors, standard and wide, which have a slightly larger OD. I like the wide, myself.

As usual, I'm not affiliated, just thought it was a good find.

Indeed it is! I have bought from them and the shipping to Europe is a bit steeper but the washers are great, saves me from having to say bad words everytime I can't harvest the "old" washers

Thanks! I've ordered some

Thanks. I've got both sizes on order. Saves me having to hunt for them in my home town any further. Next to impossible to find. I found 1/16 rod and 3/32 tube at a hobby store, but no washers. Thanks again.

The microfasteners website also carries the 0/80 x 3/4" hex head screws and the 0/80 hex nuts that you can use in place of the rod. You can use the #0 wide washers inside the pivot point and the #0 washers outside.

Great find!! I've order also, thanks!

They also have the nylon washers that work great inside the scales...

Thank you gona order me some

I haven't actually tried the nylon washers, but I either read on here or spoke with someone who told me that they break down with use. I either salvage vintage thrust washers or hammer brass washers to thin them out.

nice. going to be needing these soon. Have my first straights on their way and they will be getting worked over.
