Maxwell Washer Flat M8 x 17 x 1.2mm - Stainless Steel 304

The Maxwell Washer Flat M8 x 17 x 1.2mm is an essential fastening component for precision automotive builds, engine modifications, and structural assembly work. Whether you're installing aftermarket suspension components, securing engine bay hardware, or building a custom drivetrain setup, this stainless steel washer distributes load across bolt joints and prevents fastener pull-through on critical chassis and engine applications. Flat washers are foundational to any mechanic's toolkit—they reduce vibration, protect underlying surfaces, and ensure fastener longevity in high-stress environments.

Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, this M8 washer delivers corrosion resistance and durability in both dry and wet engine compartments, making it ideal for long-term reliability in modified vehicles exposed to salt, moisture, and thermal cycling. The 17mm outer diameter provides optimal bearing surface for M8 fasteners, while the 1.2mm thickness maintains structural integrity without excess material waste. Stainless 304 grade ensures superior resistance to rust and oxidation compared to zinc-plated alternatives, particularly valuable in turbo applications, fuel system work, and suspension geometry modifications where fastener failure creates safety risks.

This washer suits engine rebuilds, transmission installations, differential work, and any M8 threaded assembly requiring reliable load distribution and corrosion prevention. Mechanics and fabricators building stroker engines, upgrading engine mounts, installing aftermarket fuel injectors, or fabricating custom brackets will find this washer indispensable for meeting professional build standards.
