Countersunk Washers

Post by scr8p »

Does anyone know if these will work with 82* 4-40 flat head screws? I need a couple blue ones.

They are most likely for metric hardware which will be 90 degrees across the board. They will fit, but the screw will have to sink lower to make the washer tight, so if you put it on a plate for instance, you would have to open up the hole in the plate a smidge.

I found another brand in a smaller package and went those. I only need 2, and since I really don't like them, I don't want a stack of them laying around. And the place had a small pack of 3/16 blue aluminum lock nuts that I needed too. :wink:

Now obviously, buying in a larger bulk from Fastener Express or somewhere like it would've been a better deal. But I'm not into the colored hardware, and don't need 25 of each laying around. And shipping was only like $2.00 for what I ordered.

For what it's worth they work fine with 82* hardware.

Hobao/Ofna make some silver ones if colors don't suit your fancy, and if you like colors look into 3racing as they are cheap.


FWIW I liked the old Trinity countersunk washers...

Yeah, I went back on the old site and looked. I wouldn't have been able to use those anyway.
