Belleville Washers

[steveu]

Does anyone have a size and source for Belleville washers to replace the cut washers for the sprue plate screw on the Ideal moulds?

Cheers,
Steve

I used to sell them before I retired from Grainger.

Stay out of Ian’s drawers…..

Check the little drawers of specialty fasteners and such at your local hardware. Spring washers are often included.

I thought I felt a tickle.

I thought I'd never see the day our site would require a 'PG' or 'R' rating. The things consenting adults get up to together are THEIR BUSINESS, but do keep it on the down-low.

'Belleville washer', eh? That's a new expression to me, thanks for the info. 'Wave washer' and 'Lock washer' I'm acquainted with.

Belleville was a mining camp/town near here in the Holcomb Valley just north of Big Bear Lake. It sprung up c. 1860 after the discovery of gold by Billy Holcomb. It almost became the county seat of San Bernardino County, since it was larger than San Bernardino by 1861 with 5,000 residents. The gold strike played out by mid-1862, and the town became a haven for Secessionist sympathizers--of which there were MANY in the southern third of the state.

I bought a kit from the jungle group with about 18 different sizes. I'll probably not ever use ~90% of them but between MP and Lee molds I've used 2 different sizes and there's another bolt I'm thinking I need to look at but don't remember what it was now.
