Epsilon washers

Hey I have been working on refinishing a set of Epsilon but have ran into a problem. The small outer washers seem to be a really odd size and I can't find them in stainless steel anywhere. When I measured it, it was roughly 3/8 inner diameter and 5/8 outer. Anyone who has worked with these wheels before know where I can get them.


I have polished the lips, powder coated the centers gloss black, and replaced the Socket head screws with SS. So this is all I need then I'm done.

Those are going to be hard to find in steel, let alone ss. Hit the Yellow Pages for specialty nut and bolt suppliers. Keep in mind that they are metric.

It will cost more, but if you can't find them anywhere, get some custom made at a machine shop to you exact specifications. You got the wheels are fixed up, why not just bite the bullet, and have some custom made to complete your wheels, so you can get them on the car already. Try this website: www.emachineshop.com
