Dzus washer question

    I pried all the retaining washers off the dzus fasteners on both my RC8's so I could get the bodywork painted. I got new retaining washers from Pro-bolt, but they're too big. The hole in them is just under 6mm, and the dzus stud is 5.3mm in dia, so the retaining washer doesn't retain. Does anyone know where I could find a better selection of sizes, these were the only ones I could find.
    Thanks.

    Kurveygirl. I think most washers are 5.4id though.

    I ordered some of the plastic ones from there, but I'm hoping to find metal washers like the ones I took off.

    The plastic ones work great if you have the right size. I remove about 200 of them a week at my shop, and they take A LOT of force to get that washer to pop off!

    Thanks guys, they're on order. I was trying to stick with metal ones like the bodywork came with, but I'm sure the plastic washers will work fine.
