Finishing washers?

Post by tribologist »

Have anyone seen a source of the style of finishing washers used in the A25 for the grab rails? The ones i can find are simple cups and not clised on the face like the ones in the boat. Some of mine are a bit sad. I also need to replace a few screws.

"Clised"??? You're talking about the grab rail screws & trim washers that go up though the overhead from inside the cabins & pilothouse? What's wrong with standard s/s oval head screws & trim washers you can get from West Marine, Lowe's, or Home Depot?

When I was refitting our A27, I bought all my stainless hardware on eBay. Bolts, screws nuts and washers. Boxes of 50 pieces often cost less than a pack of 10 from Lowes

It's all there and available from USA sellers if you search using the right words

I ended up using finishing washers from mcmaster.com. Looked for a while for the fancy ones with flat face but no luck....
