Product Information
Full details
The Pro-Bolt Countersunk Alloy Washer is designed for automotive enthusiasts and mechanics looking to add a professional, color-coordinated finish to their vehicle while reducing overall weight. These precision-engineered washers effectively distribute fastener load to prevent damage, making them ideal for aesthetic engine bay or bodywork projects. Please note that these components are strictly for non-safety critical areas and should not be used in high-stress applications like engine internals or suspension mounts.

FAQs
Can I use these on my brake calipers?
No. These washers are for non-safety critical applications only and should never be used on brake systems or suspension components.
How many washers come in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 individual countersunk alloy washers.
Are these washers compatible with stainless steel bolts?
Yes, they are compatible with standard M6 countersunk bolts, but ensure you do not overtighten as aluminum is softer than steel.
Will the red color fade over time?
The washers are anodized for durability, but prolonged exposure to direct, harsh UV rays over several years may cause minor color shifts.
Are these suitable for high-vibration areas?
They are designed for light use. If installed in high-vibration areas, ensure the bolt is secured with appropriate thread locker and checked periodically.
Troubleshooting
Washer appears scratched during installation
Ensure you are using a smooth, high-quality hex key and applying slow, steady pressure to prevent tool slippage.
Bolt does not sit flush in the washer
Verify that your bolt is a true countersunk head bolt (typically 90-degree taper) and not a button-head or cap-head screw.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent weight reduction for racing or custom builds
- High resistance to environmental pollutants and saltwater
- Provides a clean, professional aesthetic finish
- Durable anodized coating prevents surface oxidation
Cons
- Not suitable for load-bearing or safety-critical applications
- Aluminum is softer than steel and susceptible to thread stripping if overtightened
- Cannot be used in high-stress mechanical environments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your countersunk bolt sits flush within the washer's taper. It is essential to use a manual hex driver rather than high-torque power tools during installation to avoid damaging the soft aluminum alloy. When cleaning, avoid harsh caustic chemicals or abrasive scouring pads that may strip the anodized layer. Simply wipe down with a soft, damp cloth or mild soap solution to maintain the finish. These washers are strictly for non-critical aesthetic uses, so verify that the application does not involve high-vibration or high-torque requirements.
