Hinged Metal Washers??

[GTDB7]

Someone from the AMOC forum posted about these several weeks ago and due to the forum being down for the past ice age I have no way to find them.

These items served the role as a standard flat metal washer, however you could fit these without the need to remove anything as they had a small hinge pin which allowed you to open the washer, pop it over a shaft and then crimpt it closed.

I've tried every google search I can think of, I came close but no cigar.

Is that person also on here? if not does anyone else know of such a washer?

I believe they were sourced from the USA.

Many thanks for any help.

It was a "Quick Repair Washer" that alsacuta used on the front suspension bush of his DB7 Vantage enabling him to get away without having to completely remove the long wishbone bolt.

No Problem.

I think all of my fish ended back up in Webby's pond and are floating upside down on the surface.
