wrote in message ups.com... what is a fender washer? in which situation is it used? Common name for a washer larger than an ordinary washer for the same diameter bolt. It is used for special purposes and to spread the bearing load, as on a wood or composite bearing surface. Thus we use "fender washers" or "970's" on a composite bulkhead where we are fastening a hydraulic accumulator or on a wooden bulkhead so as not to crush the fibers. Of course a "fender" washer may not be legal for aircraft use. Always use a cad-plated AN 970 washer purchased from a reliable source. groups trimmed

This is the homebuilt forum, right? Nothing illegal about its use at all.... Now safety is an entirely different matter....

Cad plating on a washer is unnecessary but it sure helps on the bolt and nut. Now safety is an entirely different matter....

Most if not all washers I see in the hardware stores are plated, if not Cad then nickel. I don't recall seeing any plain ones lately...

Most if not all washers I see in the hardware stores are plated, if not Cad then nickel. I don't recall seeing any plain ones lately... I thought the cheap hardware store hardware (nuts/bolts/washers anyway) was zinc plated. Sometimes the really cheap stuff flakes off... If you've found nickel plating, that's a pretty good thing. Maybe I gotta look closer next time I'm at the store.
