what is a fender washer?

Just for the fun of it ;-) When on a boat in the USA or Canada the word bumper is used to identify a protective rubber rail or similar device permanently mounted on the freeboards of a boat to absorb small impacts. Fenders are not permanently mounted and are attached with ropes to the deck rail when needed as an additional protection when docking, rafting or other situations that can cause damages. When you see a tug boat with numerous black tires attached with rope on its freeboards they are used as fenders. FWIW.

Chuckle! That sucker has no idea who he's messing with, does he? Give him hell, Gunner.

Gunner, could we talk you into hanging out in rec.aviation.homebuilt some? You got style.

By few of us a fender washer is used to keep brass pipe against a mandrel while drawing the pipe to a larger diameter.

add to below "fender welting" - mostly not used now, but my older cars all have it to go between fender and body - reduces squeak, keeps water out of the joint - wethers and disintegrates so you have an excuse to remove the fenders and do it over again.

fenders fend off stones that your own front wheels would fling at you. Pat

Argghhh! Please please please, if you want more Gunnervision, have him copy his junk to your mailbox. Because if he starts polluting RAH with his political bullshit, I'm gonna' make sure that everybody knows who invited him. :-)

Nawh, dem's what the Brits call "wings." On second son's old chevy pick-um-up, they act like wings, too. Gerry :-)} London, Canada

Wood washer. This washer looks like a fender washer. It is used in aircraft so it would spread the force around a large area and not deform the wood.
