Steel washer sizes.

[armyash]

Hi guys, I need to get steel washers for when fixing radiator brackets. I have a box of steel washers but have run out of all the suitable sized ones. I don't know washer sizes so can anyone help and tell me what size is best. Apologies for a carp thread but i don't want to buy another box with lots of different sizes and be left over with loads that are not likely to be used.

I normally keep these on the van for rad brackets:

Stainless Steel Penny Washer M6 x 25mm | Toolstation

Plus a few with bigger 8mm & 10mm holes when you need something more than a no. 10 screw.

Keep a few smaller (10mm & 12mm diameter) as well.

Seems to cover most uses..

They proper wind me up. The ones they call penny washers are small diameter. The ones they call "large flat washers" are bigger. But Toolstation are cheaper.

You need a size according to the size of screws your using, so if you using M8 screws you need a M8 washer or if you using 6mm screws you need a washer with 6mm hole
If you go to b&q nuts and bolts isle you can find what you need get the sizes and buy them somewhere els, although I always find that sometimes stuff falls into your pocket when you gasp at the ridiculous price for a few nuts and bolts
