If they are the washers I think you're describing (round and bowed, NOT cut and spiraled like a lock washer), there may be an alternative... Get an equally sized washer in both the same diamiter and thickness. Place the washer in a vice and bend with pliers to the correct size. -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, Les Huckins <jhuckins@xxxx> wrote: > Windshield wipers call for a spring washer and a nut, I have two > ordinary wrought washers.
