I'm trying to source a steel disk of 50mm or slightly greater where I

I'm currently using:

really its too large a diameter though not a serious issue but is too

Are there any off-the-shelf sources I can obtain a couple of these that
are 2-3mm thick? I've run out of ideas!


Could you use a Rivnut rather than welding a nut to the plate?
