Product Information
Full details
The Pro-Bolt Countersunk Alloy Washer is designed for enthusiasts looking to shed weight and add a refined, gold-anodized aesthetic to their vehicle's non-structural components. These lightweight washers are crafted from high-grade 7075T73 aluminium, making them significantly lighter than their steel or titanium counterparts. While they provide excellent corrosion resistance and load distribution for aesthetic hardware, it is critical to note that they are strictly intended for non-safety-critical applications and should never be used in high-stress areas of your vehicle.

FAQs
Can I use these on my brake calipers?
No. These washers are intended only for non-safety-critical areas and are not rated for high-stress or structural automotive components.
Are they compatible with all bolt types?
These are specifically designed for countersunk head bolts to ensure a flush, even fitment.
Will the gold finish fade?
The washers feature an 8-12 micron thick anodized coating that is resistant to saltwater and road film, though long-term exposure to intense UV light may cause minor color shifts over many years.
Why is aluminium used instead of steel?
Aluminium is chosen for its significant weight savings—60% lighter than stainless steel—making it ideal for performance builds where weight reduction is prioritized.
How many washers are in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 individual countersunk alloy washers.
Troubleshooting
Washer appears loose after installation
Ensure the bolt is fully seated in the countersunk housing and that you have not exceeded the required thread depth.
Finish is scratching during tightening
Verify that your tool bit size is correct and that it is not slipping against the washer surface during torque application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Pro-Bolt Countersunk Alloy Washers is straightforward: simply slide the washer onto the matching countersunk bolt before threading it into the mounting point. To ensure the finish remains pristine, always use a high-quality, properly fitting hex or Torx key to prevent marring the aluminium surface. To clean, use mild soap and water with a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemical degreasers or abrasive sponges, as these can strip or scratch the thin anodized coating over time. Ensure these are only used on cosmetic or low-torque fasteners; do not use them on brake systems, suspension linkages, or engine mounts.
