The total height of the stacked washers is 13/16" or 20.6mm. The diameter of the washer is 3/4" or 19mm

Another Schaefer/Stubbs creation. I'm adding these into the Sonoran Steel Store if anyone wants any. We don't expect to sell alot but the more you offer the better.

Whoa, that's pretty nice
I've been taking my seats out more often now that I have a dog. I'll have to get these once I figure out where to put my seats when I'm not using them.
