Title: 1/2 inch flat washer for carling toggle switches
Post by: Tone Junkie on December 16, 2018, 07:34:27 pm

I know this is probably the wrong spot to post . In the past I have been able to get flat washers that fit my switches that go in the 1/2 inch hole. I think there actually 15/32 washers . I knew I had a hard time finding them last time but for the life of me. I cant find them now. Anyone have a source
Thanks Bill

Pete thank you for those. I don't need the locking washer though. I need a flat washer I use them under my outside nut on the faceplate.
 With humble adoration for all those here who have taught me so much.
Bill
 PS. when I found them last time I knew I should have ordered more than 10

Swampertech I like those look a lot better than what I was doing . I think I will use those on my amps from know on.  Found the other ones I was using at pedel parts plus. I forgot that I found them when on a pedal building spree. Tubnit and the others in the pedal section had me on a real run of pedals for a while.
Thank You Bill

Check out https://www.albanycountyfasteners.com


These are the folks I order from when I need something Fastenal doesn't carry.  I looked at the flat washers and you can get the size you need in 7 different materials, including Brass.  Whenever I build a wooden finished combo, I use brass washers and Brass Acorn nuts to install the chassis.  Easy and looks nice.
