Nylon Washers for Fairing and Inspection Plates

Post by dwurfel »

I have a few of these missing and wondering if anyone has size specs for each and maybe best place to buy. I looked on Amazon and they have a number of options from specific size to assortments. Just want to make sure I am getting close replacement. Winds are 35 gusting 45 in Trinidad Co today so will not be flying today. Thanks everyone.

I just grab them from Ace hardware. The screws are 5 mm, which is served just fine with #10 nylon washers.

Thanks Rich. I have a 2014 R1200RT. Love to ride and fly. Still not sure which I like. I do know one is cheaper.
