I'm looking for a source of the Honda type flat washers besides buying them for a $1 or more apiece at the dealer.  Especially the 6mm washers.  They're much thinner than what you get at the hardware store.  I'm being anal again trying to keep the restoration as accurate as possible.
Thanks,
Mark

This subject didn't get much attention but if anyone's interested I did find M6 & M8 zinc plated thin washers at Bargain Screws in the UK.

Cost me $15 for 500 each but I would have spent that much and got less than 15 washers at the dealer.  By the way I did find sources for them in the USA but only in stainless.

Hi Mark,

 Well, Yes, I was following this thread.  I had it bookmarked.

 Thanks for checking into that.  I've been wondering the same thing.  It seems like alot of the screws require a 6 or 8mm washer.  Continuing to purchase from the dealers is a solution, but a pain.  Oh well.

 You wanna split your 500 washers or sell of a portion?  I'd be happy to share that with you and of course share the expenses).

 No matter what... Thanks for looking.

Scott

Please count me in if you want to split up the 500 you have. I ordered a bunch from Honda and black ones arrived. I ended up getting them plated. You're not anal, you just want it RIGHT.
Cheers,
Cliff.

I'm impressed that someone was watching this.  Let's wait until I get them to make sure they're correct and I'll get back to you guys.
