Sort of washery-type things that slip over the end of an axle to
hold things on. You see them holding the wheels on childrens
push-along toys. I need one for a 12mm axle.

If I knew what to look for I might find somewhere that sells them,
but you guys probably know already.

Okay, thanks, I'll look for star washer. Screwfix?


Oops, I hadn't realised that Bakfin were in Brum.
