Rubber Washers and Spacers in My Mounting Kit

My purchase and Amazon option

Thick rubber washers were among the small mounting parts in my purchase records.

The featured Amazon option is Glarks Rubber Spacer Assortment.

Where it fits my build

I cut and drilled aluminum bracket pieces for the roof cameras and lights. The camera mounts needed additional holes and adjustments as I brought the assemblies together on the extrusion.

I sprayed the camera-mount pieces with black bedliner during the fabrication sequence. The coated brackets then formed part of the roof camera and light arrangements shown in the diary.

My build notes

The black finish was one stage within the mount fabrication. The holes and profile connections still determined where the pieces could sit, so the diary records the drilling and fitting alongside the coating.

The bracket shape, drilled holes and coating were separate parts of finishing the mount.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

Glarks provides an assortment and a separate single-size spacer pack. Hawkeng supplies another rubber-spacer option, so the comparison centers on dimensions and whether several sizes come together.

Glarks Single-Size Rubber Spacers

Glarks Single-Size Rubber Spacers

These round rubber spacers provide a gap around a through-fastener. A pack of matching pieces keeps the spacer shape consistent across several mounting points.

These round rubber spacers fit around fasteners to separate adjoining parts. Their central holes leave a path for the bolt through the spacer.
