A hardware store washer will be just fine as long as the purpose and use

is understood. This is the homebuilt forum,

right? Nothing illegal about its use at all....

You're right, Mr. Blueskies. I stand corrected. Cad plating on a washer
is unnecessary but it sure helps on the bolt and nut.

Now safety is an entirely different matter....


Most if not all washers I see in the hardware stores are plated, if not Cad then nickel. I don't recall seeing any plain
ones lately...

I thought the cheap hardware store hardware (nuts/bolts/washers
anyway) was zinc plated. Sometimes the really cheap stuff flakes off...

If you've found nickel plating, that's a pretty good thing. Maybe I
gotta look closer next time I'm at the store.
