Default Misc Non-Standard Part supplier reqd.

Hi,

I've searched the web for some 5x7x1mm axle spacers/washers/shims and have only been able to find a Kyosho part (W149) at £4.50 for a pair! For a tiny washer, albeit these are aluminium, I think that is steep. There must be a supplier of small bits out there (not necessarily rc cars) that could supply these cheaper..... Anyone have any contacts?

BTW: it's to fit between the c clip and the back bearing of the front axle of the Mad Rat to stop the binding problem when you tighten the wheel nut.... I know a solution is to tighten then "back off" half a turn but I don't like the wobble this results in.... just wanted to try this solution.
