Wanted: Random one: Coilover washer, urgent

[Curt]

As per title, random one. Thought I'd assemble my coilovers as I've finally collected all my top mounts, and there's a bloody washer missing from a coilover.

So, desperately hoping that all cheap coilies are the same (ish)... has anyone got one? It's 48mm OD with an M10 centre...

If anyone does, really need one by the weekend so if it can be sent tomorrow by next day obviously I'll pay.

Cheers,
Curt

Think i do. Any particular thickness?

[Curt]

Ah awesome, think it's about 3-4mm? I just don't know if they're all the same diameter etc as it's not for a 306

[Niall]

Will have a look before i go to work tomorrow. Pretty sure ive got some about that size OD but worst case you might have to drill out the ID

[Curt]

Okay that'd be wicked, that wouldn't be a problem. Cheers man, YHPM by the way

Id prob be able to get one, i know a epic shop for nuts/bolts/washer etc

[Curt]

Oh right, what shop is that Jamie? May have to give them a buzz.


Alternatively, being the pikey I am I have a plan.

This is obviously what I need:

   

And I have 3 of these:

   

Anyone see any objection to me cutting off the "cup" part off so it's a flat washer, avoiding getting it too hot as best I can?

I really want these on this weekend and if that'll work I'll do it

[RePT]

lawls.

my ignorance led me to thinking you needed a 'coilover washer' as in a 'pressure washer' to wash your coilovers.

I was like dafuq.

I was going to suggest you just borrow your mums fairy liquid, and that should do the job.

[Niall]

Ive had a look and the biggest ive got is 38mm.

Try phoning these guys in the morning. I was after some really odd size bolts for my RX8 seats and they supplied them single. Order at half 5 and they were on my door step next day.
Edit, thinking about it, i think they actually made the bolts up for me so might be able to do the same for you.

Just strip down some other struts? Standard washer thats used on all 306's
Its the one that goes on the top of the damper rod before the rest of the topmount goes on yea?

Its called Devizes building supplies, they are a local steel merchants.

Their shop is epic for tools, nuts bolts, paint, air kit, any thing you could ever use or think of in a garage, its my version of heaven

Ive just looked on servicebox. Its not 48mm.

[Curt]

Cheers for the help and links chaps. I'll try both those tomorrow... Will have a drive around on lunch and see if I can find anywhere else too.

It's not for a 306 Chris, and I don't think I have any standard ones anyway. Will have a rummage in the greenhouse first though as god knows what's in there

[puglove]

If they have one but wont post curt, shout me and i'll go get it a posted it up

[Curt]

Found M8 40 and 50mm on that site you linked Niall that I can drill out, so will get them in case.

If they have one but wont post curt, shout me and i'll go get it a posted it up

Cheers buddy, appreciate it

Scratch that there was a second page M10

[Niall]

As i said, he was really helpful and postage is quick but to ensure it is here saturday, id pay for the special delivery. We all know what the royal fail are like.

[Curt]

Yeah this is true, I did indeed opt for the next day thingy with a very polite "pleeease dispatch quickly" message
