Bellows pin washer.
« on: December 09, 2018, 05:34:10 PM »

Does anybody know where I can buy washers to replace the ones fitted on early Hohner pins?  They are tiny and I can't seem to find a supplier.

I think you’ll need to make your own!

I've seen washers that size on electrical bits, but I can't find a supplier on line.

You should find data sheets for each product. e.g.,

BA sizes work back to front. 10BA is tiny. 2BA is huge (relative). Contact the site and ask for advice, most are pretty nerdy and keen to help. Most bellows pins are between 2 and 2.5mm in diameter, you will need a vernier gauge to measure them. If you don't know what a vernier gauge is God help you because I can't!
