Description
The part that protects the finish
A bolt head bearing directly on anodised aluminium does two bad things. It concentrates the clamping force into a small ring, and it scores the finish as it turns. A flat washer under the head fixes both, which is why they belong under every M8 fixing on the rig.
Twenty come in the set, which is enough to work through a full build without running short halfway. They suit the M8 fixings used throughout the aluminium chassis rigs Trak Racer builds.
Key features
- Twenty washers per set
- M8 bore
- Spreads clamping load
- Protects anodised surfaces
Why the load spreading matters
Aluminium is softer than the steel bolt going through it. Without a washer the bolt head digs in, and over a few tightening cycles it leaves a depression that stops the joint pulling up square. A washer puts a hardened flat face between the two and spreads the force over a wider area.
It is the same reason they belong under a T-nut assembly on a mounting plate. If you are fitting a wheelbase or a pedal deck, put a washer under every head, then add a lock washer on anything that will see vibration. They are a standing item in our racing simulator accessories range for exactly that reason.
Our expert take
"Washers are the cheapest insurance on the rig. People leave them out to save a step and then wonder why the anodising around every bolt hole looks chewed. Buy a set, keep them in the toolbox, use one every time."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
Frequently asked questions
What size are these?
M8, which is the standard bolt size across Trak Racer aluminium profile rigs. They suit the M8 screws and T-nuts used throughout the system.
How many come in a set?
Twenty, which covers a full build with spares left over for later changes.
Do I need lock washers as well?
They do different jobs. A flat washer spreads load and protects the surface. A lock washer resists the bolt backing out under vibration. On a rig with force feedback, most joints benefit from both.
