lOOKING FOR SPECIAL FLAT WASHERS

[Mild Bill]

40/50yrs ago I found washers that opened up at one end and were hinged cross from the opening. Closed, they looked like a O Opened 1/2 way, they looked like a C. opened all the way up, they looked like a W. I cant find them here. Anybody know who sells them?? Thanks

McMaster if they are available. They have just about everything.

Post a pic of that washer , then a person would know what they are. Then a lot easier to find. Also where are u using them ? I think I know what your talking about.

Never seen anything like that. Sounds like a very specialized item. What were they used on? How big were they?

I really didn't know what op was talking about. But now that I went to your link,,,yes I've seen them.

They are basically to shim a shaft. Don’t have to tear things apart. Just install it.

Yep, quick washers is what we called them. Years ago there was a display of those at every dealership and farmstore.

 

[Pitalplace]

I have a few I think. Post the size you need.

I found some at Menards a while back. Shure save a lot of disassembly on the linkage I was working on.

if you need a stack of them to fill up space, might be cheaper to use a two piece set collar.

 

[rustred]

sure beats winding hay wire around the shaft.

I was in a small town hardware store yesterday and seen them hanging on a hook.

Can you link the washers directly, I don't find them on that site.

 

[Jim.ME]

You might have to purchase online, few here are going to know what places around you would have them. Search: quick repair washer and snap washer

Here are a couple more sites to check. in addition to Huyett.

Schaibley company

Tacoma screw company

Now that the snow has stopped you can get to your nearest store. But, I'm not sure all of them have stock of special stuff like this.

Also, I think I've seen these at Tractor Supply, and Stillwater Milling Company in Claremore.
