Countersunk Washers
By Terry Smythe

During refinishing of a player grand, some screws
and washers went astray, and I'm having trouble finding
a source of the washers.  They are the screws and washers
needed to affix the Lock Bar to the underside of the
front half of the lid.

I've had no trouble obtaining suitable replacement brass
flat head screws, but the flat brass countersunk washers
seem elusive.   The originals look like this:

•       ___     ___
          \   /
       |         |____________  5/8" OD
          |  |________________  1/4" ID
•
The only washers I seem to be able to find look this this:
•       _    _
      ( \  / )
•
They ride on top of the board, rather than countersink
into the board.   They are not suitable.

Does anyone know of a source of a dozen of these washers?

Thanks.

Regards,

Terry
