Door panel clear washers for Series 1

[zed2]

Does any have a source for the clear washer used to attach the lower door panel on the Series 1 cars?

Thanks,

Keith

Don't know exactly what you mean with a "clear washer" .. i think a washer from colourless plastic?  I needed a colourless plastic round sticker for on the paint where the rubber of the tailgate comes when you close it.. and i found one in the giant stock of my painter, he has the straingest parts for cars in many many assortment boxes..

Maybe your painter has some for you..

I tried McMaster-Carr for countersunk finishing washers.  Found white ones, but not clear.  Hmmm...

Maybe you can make some out of plexiglas on a lath.. @Captain Obvious?

Can you give some exact dimensions?

With a small lathe, one could use a small clear dress button to start with.

If you want to take a deep dive into these door panel screws and finish washers, 

here is a thread I started about 16 years ago.

10mm outside diameter.   

Seem them on the couple of 69 510’s I’ve worked on recently as well doing the same duty.

Another temporary option after a little filing.

What are those?  Lifesavers?  You nut!  Thanks for the pictures.  I'm going to write to a guy and see if I can have them made.

Actually, you can modify them yourself.

Step 1:  Remove from wrapper.

Step 2:  Insert in mouth.

Step 3:  Remove from mouth when desired reduced size is achieved..

Warning:  Leaving in mouth too long will make them disappear. 😎
