Comparing Width and Finish as Separate Washer Decisions
I worked with several fastener groups during roof-mount assembly.
The connector plates and surrounding pieces changed the space around each attachment.
I bought wide black M8 washers alongside narrower metal-washer packs.
The profiles and joint hardware during my roof-mount assembly.The drilled connectors and fasteners joining my added extrusion to the roof rack.
My Takeaway from This Job
The black and stainless wide options both have twenty-four-millimeter outside diameters. The Small Parts alternative narrows the disk to sixteen millimeters and changes the finish to zinc plating, so width and finish can be compared independently.
The two wide M8 options share a diameter and differ in finish.

The twenty-four-millimeter outside diameter needs space around the M8 opening. Include that footprint in a panel or bracket sketch, particularly where a washer sits near a corner or another fastener. For a van hardware list, keep the outside diameter with the opening identity so this broad washer is not confused with a narrower M8 disk. The washer, screw head and attached material form one physical stack that can be measured together.
These M8 stainless washers have a twenty-four-millimeter outside diameter. Their broad disks provide a larger contact footprint than narrower flat washers.
