Thread 2948186

I'm repairing a mobility scooter. It has tab washers (picrel right) on the wheel axel bolts. I can only find one place online selling them and they're cash rape.

Could I get away with left (picrel). How much less secure will it be, would it be sufficient?

Maybe you should make one, yourself.

Now isnt the time or place to be pulling some edgelord shit anon.

>Cant find where to buy this piece of hardware
I can. Did you not read the thread you retard. I don't like the price. So I'm considering alternatives. If you've got no experience of using tab washers, don't fucking reply

>Manufacture them yourself
The time and investment, is simply not worth it compared to buying alternatives from china.

It might help if you show a picture of how it's supposed to be mounted, otherwise it's hard to tell if something else would work. If it doesn't have to be very strong you could probably make your own with a piece of flashing, a drill, some snips, a file, and pliers. How trashed are the originals that you can't just reuse them?

Stop pretending to be mentally damaged.

Looks pretty dang easy to make a set of 4 of these from an overpriced $11 sheet metal piece from home depot, an angle grinder which everyone here should have, and a drill.
Faggot I mean OP did not specify how expensive the commercially available washers are but $11 to DIY all 4 would not be unreasonable.

use your head
you can fabticate that gayass lock washer from a coke can, you can use a nylon lock nut, you can use locktide on the nut, etc.

Seconding the Nylock nut. They should work fine in this application.

So three options for you OP
1. It's a generic part you should be able to order online for $5, instead of searching for the machine it came off, search for what the part actually is.
2. Use generic lock tight nuts. The issue is that they wouldn't tension the washer, so the washer spinning would tend to make even locktights fall off eventually and it might squeak. And you don't want an old person's wheel falling off. But hey, $5, get the thing working for the next few months.
