M5 pieces formed a substantial part of my extrusion hardware purchases. This washer pack keeps that size together, which reflects the separate hardware families I worked with on the roof.

The item in my kit
I bought M5 Stainless Split Lock Washers as part of my camper van equipment.

Where it fits my build
For the light bar, I cut an added extrusion beam and made three short drilled connectors. The rack side used quarter-twenty hardware, while the smaller 2020 extrusion used M5 hardware.
The different nuts changed the assembly sequence. A rack nut had to slide in through an opening, which meant undoing bolts I had already tightened; the smaller nuts could move and spin while I tried to start a bolt. I used an Allen key to reposition them.

My build notes
The cutting and drilling made the components, but positioning the small hardware took its own time. I recorded the difference between inserting the rack nuts and fishing the smaller nuts into place because it affected how the joint went together.
The profile, connector shape, bolt and slot nut all contributed to the assembly sequence.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
uxcell offers another plain M5 split-washer pack. The black-coated set changes the surface finish within the same size grouping.
uxcell M5 Split Lock Washers
These uxcell M5 washers use a split-ring form rather than a continuous flat disk. The stainless pieces add a distinct washer profile beneath a fastener head or nut.
