I hit send too soon :-(
Do they make a fender washer, but slotted so you can loosen a bolt and slip it in as a shim?

Why do you need to unloosen bolts just to wash your fenders?
Thanks, Rich
Why don't you make one yourself, a hacksaw should do the trick ;)
Greets, Fritz
Sounds like work :-( ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Dremel tool? -- Less work than going to the store if you only need a few...?
Duh... He is practising for fender bender....
McMaster-Carr has them... Search for slotted washers
-- David dgminala at mediacombb dot net
A Dremel would do most of the work, and a vise pretty much the rest. :)
Yes, but if you only need a few you may spend less time making some than finding them.
I can't even remember what they're called -- either slotted washers or shims. Alignment shops use them on some front-end alignment jobs, and vintage car restoration places use them when mounting bodies to frames. I don't know who else would use them, but they'd be handy little buggers, for sure.

You can buy an assortment of body shims at a car parts place.
Harbor Freight has a 144 piece assortment for $7.99
Description of Storehouse 67585
Spacers for adjusting camber, caster and toe at the front or rear wheels.
Tolerance: 1/64": 0.39-0.4
1/32":0.79-0.8 1/16":1.55-1.60 1/8":3.15-3.20 Quantity: 24 each of 1/16" and 1/8", 48 each of 1/32" and 1/64"-- For the last time: I am not a mad scientist, I'm just a very ticked off scientist!!!
I've seen these, they are called "slip-in shims" or something like that. I'm pretty sure MSC or similar machine tool supply has them.

Slotted shim stock is what you need, be prepared to spend some money!
Its cheaper to put some washers in a vise and run a 4 inch grinder through them for the slot.
Wow, tolerances specified as a range in millimeters for an English size! Very nice mixed units! :-)
As a percentage that's ~ +/-1.25% ... not bad at all, for something so inexpensive.
Considering the use, it's probably better than they need to line up body parts. I've seen that type of shim used on old mainframe hard drives when they milled a casting too far, or the mounting frame wasn't accurate. It looked funny, shims under rubber shock mounts. :)
-- For the last time: I am not a mad scientist, I'm just a very ticked off scientist!!!
About 5 cents each.
Cheaper? Maybe, but only if you have the tools and your time has a negative value and you don't give a damn how bad it looks. Of course, I don't expect good advice from you and I'm never disapointed.
-- For the last time: I am not a mad scientist, I'm just a very ticked off scientist!!!
put the washer in your vice and take a hacksaw to it, or dremel tool.

It could be a 'C' washer
