These fender washer sizes are easily accessible by searching for specific outside or inside diameters at bokers.com/fender_washers.asp.

A fender washer, though similar in shape to a standard washer, differs in that the outside diameter is traditionally much larger in proportion to the center hole. With this design, a fender washer can be placed under the head of a bolt or nut to help distribute forces applied when tightening. Its oversized outside diameter also provides more bearing surface for the load of the fastener--distributing the load further on soft or thin materials. Fender washers are commonly used in automotive, sheet metal, plumbing and electrical applications.

Boker's complete offering of fender washers includes a selection of over 8,968 sizes and 2,000 metallic and non-metallic materials--all offered with no tooling charges. With quick turnarounds and millions of washer possibilities, Boker's offers washer solutions to suit the widest range of application needs.
