Source for washers

[Nelson]

I need to find a source for the oval arched washers used to mount the oil pan to the block on my 948. I can't find them on the Moss site.

Hello Nelson, missed you this weekend (SpringThing). How about Jeff Porada at Winner's Circle, Bugeye Guy, Healey Surgeons or British Car Specialists?

Thanks, Bob. Jeff is looking for a used one for me but no success yet. Bugeye Guy will happily sell me a complete set of hardware for $20 but all I really need is one or two used ones as I have all the other hardware. I decided to not do any driving until the oil pan is back under the engine.

I think I have some that were used on my Jaguar XJS.
What is the size you are looking for?

The bolts are 1/4" and washers are 1/2" by 3/4". The holes are 5/16" I only need a couple so I may wind up just using a flat washer instead. I appreciate your offer.

I'll try to look in my fastener bins today and let you know.
The ones I'm thinking of are stainless steel.
Cost is postage only.

That would be great. Thanks!

I took a look today and I could only find one of the domed/oval stainless washers.
Unfortunately, it looked smaller than 1/4" opening.
I found some others with larger holes in steel but they are flat.
Some were very thin but some were much thicker.
If you like, I can take a pic of the variety and measure them.

I appreciate your checking, Steve but I think I will check elsewhere. One of the people I know is in the repair business and is quite sure he has some used ones in his shop. He is out of town now but will hopefully be home shortly and be able to find some. Thanks again for checking. BTW I have done the bulk of the work on my Sprite since I bought it 62 years ago from Donald Healey's dealership in England.
