Have my skid plates off for some maintenance and the Rockhard supplied bolt head protectors are getting pretty beat up. I would like to buy a few replacements and haven't found anyplace other than Rockhard that sells them. I tried McMaster Carr and no soap. Has anybody out there found the industrial supply house that sells these things????

Thanks for any info, Rub61

 

Could you snap a quick pic of what your talking about interested in this product.

Cheers

 

It is a really thick washer with a recessed area for the bolt head. And it slopes from the bolt head area to the edge.

 

Check attachment.

 

Anybody got any ideas about washer source yet??

Thanks in Advance

 

I dunno where to get one, but I know how to make your photo a click free. Maybe that will help still some responses?

 

Thanks for the picture help. Not real savy on the picture posting options.

 

There's PLENTY of life left in that protector! Just think what the bolt head would have looked like without it!

Having said that, I'd love to get my hands on a set of replacement and/or upgrades. I have the RockHard engine skid, but there are other bolts that have been taking a whack that could use a little protection.

 

Have you called RockHard and asked them what the cost is? I have found Lewis to be a reasonable guy and I'm sure he'll treat you fairly.

FWIW I've never seen these available anyplace else. McMaster Carr is usually the best bet but you can also try Grainger and Reid Supply. Fastenall may also be an option to try. There comes a point were it is counterproductive to try to find something for a few cents cheaper.

 

Wake up an old thread, anyone know where to find these?
