Does anyone have a source for washers in the UK? I've been looking everywhere.
MarkInLondon,
I get mine from MicroFasteners in the USA.
Are these for use in pinning ?
I could let you have some, if you would like to PM me.
Have fun !
Best regards

Macc Model Engineer Supplies (www.maccmodels.co.uk) has been mentioned in previous threads. 10BA is the size that was recommended as being closest to 1/16th.
I've ordered a pack of washers to see how they stack up, but they're still winging their way to me.
You can take a short trip to your local bikeshop and as for DT-swiss brass shims. for building wheels. you use the between the spokes head and the flange of the hub to distrubute the pressure from the spoke. the inner diameter is 2 mm. a little less. probably 1.9 and the outer aprox 4 mm.. works really neat for me and you get like 300 for something like 6 £.
even if you use a thinner pin than 2 mm you will probably give the washer a smack with the old hammer to thin it out a bit and the you should have a perfect fit.

I initially thought the interior hole was a little large but brass rod peens easily, and I've used them on 5 or 6 razors now and they've done an excellent job.
The exterior diameter is small enough that they can be used as an exterior washer, not just as an interior washer.
They do their job about as well as you could ask for.
I was looking at these washers too:

But they don't ship international. Someone could buy a package of these if I pay him the postage? I would be very thankful :)
