The Item in My Kit

I bought M5 Stainless Split Lock Washers as part of my camper van equipment.

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.

Keeping the Metric Washer Supply Organized

  1. I joined the smaller extrusion with M5 fasteners.
  2. I worked with quarter-twenty hardware at the larger rack.
  3. My washer purchases included dedicated M5 stainless packs as well as a black-coated option.

My Takeaway from This Job

Keeping one metric size together fits the separate hardware groups in my kit. The two plain stainless packs share the split-ring format, while the black alternative changes the surface finish within M5.

One size can be stocked in plain or black-coated split-washer formats.

Product Details And Van-Build Uses

SpecificationProduct Detail
SizeM5
MaterialStainless steel
Pack TypeSingle-size split washers

A single-size washer pack is easier to keep with its matching hardware than an unmarked collection of similar rings. Label this selection as M5 stainless split washers so it remains distinct from the flat disks and larger metric sizes. For a van joint, note where the ring sits relative to the nut or screw head. That small detail helps when reopening a panel or comparing the connection with a drawing of the original assembly.
