Little fender cup washers

Alex2678 · February 29

Does anyone know where I could get a replacement cup washer for the back panel of my deluxe reverb without importing it from Germany?
Or can anyone sell me one?

I might have one, I’ll check when I get home. I may have used them all on my recently-bought Bassman though… it’s so annoying when previous techs have lost the originals and fitted generic crap.

But it does matter!

I use these:

Not sure about the other sizes but a size 8 measures 12mm across with a 6mm hole. Looks like they have other similar products as well.

I have some bigger ones going spare that I'll never use, they measure 14.5mm across with a 5.5mm hole. If that works for you let me know, I have roughly 50 of 'em.

Thanks mate, in this instance I’m the other guy that lost it so I’ve only myself to point the finger at.
But I agree it does matter!

Thanks, sadly those are the more common type for sitting on a flat surface, the ones on fender cabs don’t go back on themselves like that, they sit in countersunk holes -

I assume if I knew where to look I could buy them from somewhere at washer prices, rather than amp part prices

Damn... I do have one (only one!), but it's very corroded and battered. It would probably look OK on a similarly beaten-up amp, but not anything in nice condition.

If you don’t mind me buying it off you I don’t mind it being tatty, I just don’t wanna knack up the tolex around the screw hole

Is this OK?

Ah no I don’t think that’s the same thanks though @ICBM ;

Is your Deluxe a reissue? The washers are different. Not sure I have any of those...

Alex2678 · February 29

Yeah sorry it’s a ‘68’ custom deluxe. No worries I’m sure I’ll find some, just seems like I don’t know the name. Apparently in the US they’re called flush dress washers but that doesn’t bring up anything from UK sellers

Plasterboard washer…?

Alex2678 · February 29

Yeah I’d seen those, thanks @HAL9000, not sure how close the measurements are regarding the sunk part vs the flat part, and they only do them in packs of 50

Howdy, Stranger!
