Looking for a source for these washers

[Ray Varella]

Does anyone know of a source for these washers, they come with Nitto rack and strut hardware. 

I seem to recall a post either here or on the Bob list about them but can’t locate it. 

Thank you 

Ray

Compass has these, dont know if they fit rack struts.  Rene Herse Fender Eyebolts – Rene Herse Cycles  I recall from a JanH post, RH fender stays are 5mm OD.

John, the Rene Herse eyebolts are for 5mm fender stays and won't work with 7mm Nitto rack stays. 

The links I sent will all work with Nitto rack hardware.

Thank you everyone. 

Unfortunately, I only need the washer with the radiused groove. 

I’ll try and find some spacers I can modify. 

Cheers

Ray, the closest thing I've found to those Nitto washer would be the Dia-Compe half moon washers. The rear one has the most radius, they specify front or rear.

If you need that exact washer you pictured, I think those are Nitto products meant to fit their hardware precisely.

Thanks Garth,

I’m pretty sure you are right about them being proprietary parts made by Nitto.

I’m going to play with some nylon spacers from my local hardware store. 

I have the correct hardware for the load bearing struts. Nylon is pretty tough. 

Then I’ll look for some aluminum spacers to modify. 

Cheers,
