I've been shopping at the same Ace Hardware for well over 25
years. They know me by name and the owner has invited me to
his Christmas Party.... Of course, with what I've spent
there over the years, I probably have sent his kids to
college twice over...

I've been waiting and waiting for some one to say what a "fender washer " is and
no one yet has given the right answer! I can't wait anymore...A "fender washer"
is the guy at the car wash that washes fenders,just like the tire washer ,door
washer ,window washer etc...They are specialists at the better car washes.
Besides this group is getting way to serious LOL!!!

See ya

I guess you missed it...


A little guy name Jose' who works down at my local car wash.
He's not tall enough to wash the top of the car, just the fenders.

Sort of. Usually not very strong, so they tend to sink a lot if you
torque them down to a reasonable amount. I've brazed a smaller washer on
top of a fender washer to stiffen one up, just stacking them only goes so
far. Actually, I needed it to remove and replace some bearings from the
front axle of my 4x4 truck. Had a 5/8" allthread going the length of the
axle and you couldn't get washers the right diameter with a 5/8" hole in it.
Lots of wrenching going on that day!
