Top Hat Fixing Washers Name
The wooden side panels on my Ampex ATR-700 reel to reel tape recorder are secured with fixing screws that go through white plastic top hat washers.
The original panels were rather slim white painted plywood, I have replaced these with wider solid wood panels which I think improves the overall appearance.
I would like to replace the white top hat washers with a different colour version to improve the appearance more, but am struggling to find suitable, am not really sure the correct name for part, any ideas please ?
The original fixing screws were too short with the new solid wood panels, so currently using longer screws that have an integral flat washer, the diameter of the integral washer is larger than the top hat recess hole diameter which results in the head of the screws protruding out of the top of the top hat washer, so I also need to get longer standard screws.
