Have you looked at some of the very dense, fiber-reinforced rubber faucet
washers in the plumbing section of a large hardware store? Your post says that only the head of the fastener contacts the aluminum. How do you prevent the neck or shaft of the screw from making contact as the object shifts slightly when the boat "works"? "RyanN" wrote in message oups.com... There are several applications I'm looking at, but all involve galvanically isolatinng the head of the fastener from the item being fastened. Two examples that come to mind are attaching aluminum hatches and stanchions to the deck. In this application, only the head of the fastener comes into contact with the aluminum, but there is enough force that a viscous isolator, such as silicone or tef-gel, probably won't work in the long term. As for sizes, my current applications involve #14 oval head screws or 1/4" machine screws. As for McMaster-Carr, I had spent a good amount of time looking on their site before posting. Many types of washers, but I can't identify the ones I'm looking for. There are cup washers for pan heads, and finish washers for using oval heads on a flat surface, but nothing like the washers I'm looking for. |
