Title: Good Source for 18mm Washers?
Post by: Atheling on 01 June 2015, 02:02:26 PM: OK, I've tried my local B&Q and Homebase but to no avail.....

Does anyone know of an online retailer that does 18mm washers (sorry to be so lazy as to not look for myself but I'm in deep with stuff).

Post by: Argonor on 30 June 2015, 02:05:59 PM: Used to be able to buy both 18mm and 24mm washers locally, but they seem to have been discontinued, which is a tad annoying :?

Guess I'll have to go Evilbay, too.
