Metric Shouldered Repair Weld Washer

Description

This metric weld washer drops into a drilled hole and rebuilds a bolt hole that has egged out. It’s the same machined washer as our inch version, bored for 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm bolts.

Metric Weld Washer for SxS and UTV Repairs

These are great for fixing egged-out holes on SxS and UTV suspension mounts. When a machine sees hard miles, the radius rod, a-arm, and shock mounts wallow out. So instead of building a new bracket, you drill the old hole oversize and weld one in.

Since most side-by-sides run metric hardware, these three sizes cover the bolts on a lot of popular machines:

• 10mm fits the bolt size used on 2014 to mid-2017 Polaris RZR XP 1000 radius rods.
• 12mm fits the bolt size on mid-2017 to 2023 RZR XP 1000 and Turbo radius rods. It’s also common on Can-Am Maverick X3 a-arms and radius arms.
• 12mm also matches the Honda Talon 1000 front a-arm bolts. Plus, it’s the suspension bolt size on the Kawasaki KRX 1000.
• 14mm fits the suspension bolt size on 2022 to 2025 RZR Pro R, Turbo R, and Pro S models.

Always measure your bolt before you order. For example, Polaris switched RZR radius rod bolts from 10mm to 12mm partway through 2017. Also, our weld washers go into steel tabs and brackets only. So if the part isn’t steel, this isn’t the fix for it.

Metric Weld Washer Features and Specs

• 1018 CR steel. That means consistent hardness and clean machining on every piece.
• Bore options are 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm. Each one takes a standard metric bolt of that size.
• The flange is .25″ thick, and the shoulder adds another .25″ for .50″ total thickness.
• 10mm and 12mm have a 1.12″ flange and a .75″ shoulder. 14mm has a 1.49″ flange and a .99″ shoulder.
• We machine the bore instead of drilling it. So the tolerance holds tighter than a drill bit can hold it.
• A 45° lead-in chamfer guides the bolt in.
• Ships as raw steel.
• Sold each. Stock up and save: buy more of the same bore size and the price per washer drops. Your savings show in the Buy more, save more box above Add to cart.

Hole Sizes and How It Goes In

The 10mm and 12mm washers go in a 3/4″ hole. The 14mm washer, on the other hand, goes in a 1″ hole. First, drill or step-drill the tab and clean up the edge. Next, drop the washer in from the flange side and check that it sits flat. Finally, weld around the flange perimeter and you’re done.

We designed these metric weld washers around 1/4″ tab material. On a 1/4″ tab the shoulder fills the hole flush. That means you get 1/2″ of material on the bolt shank. On a thinner tab, you may need to grind the shoulder down so it sits flush. On a thicker tab, the shoulder just won’t reach flush.

Where Else It Gets Used

Anywhere a metric bolt passes through a steel tab or bracket. Track bar mounts, control arm mounts, shock tabs, and link brackets all wallow out over time. So a metric weld washer is cheap insurance on a bracket you’d rather not build twice.

We machine every one in-house, so quality control never leaves the building. Made in Michigan.
