Default Source for tapered bolt head protectors

I'm installing some skid plates and I like the idea that Rock Hard 4x4 has with the washers that protect the bolt heads.

My skid plate won't come with those and I am looking for a source for them.

Any ideas?

I posted this in the skid plate thread also....

Four Treks has them at $6.00 for two. Rock Slidder Washer

TMR Customs sells them for their bead lock wheels. Aluminum Beadlock Bolt Dome : TMR Customs, Custom Fabrication Components for Offroad Vehicles

Try McMaster Carr. They carry a plethora of bolt designs. The downside? You typically need to buy in packs of 10, 20, 25, 50, etc. But, often getting that many and paying the same as you would for half dozen somewhere else.

Fastenal and Grainger are good places too.

RockHard 4X4 sells them separately. I bought some a while back. Give them a call!

They emailed me a price of $7.99 each, but I am not sure if they ship for free.

Anyone know what the dimensions of these are? I'd like to see if I can find a different source, but I have no idea what size to look for.
