Large OD Fender Washer, Low Carbon Steel, Zinc-Plated, Round Shape, USA Made, 9/32" ID, 1-1/2" OD, 0.051" Thick (Pack of 100)Fender Flatwashers were named because of their original use in auto body repair. The large outer diameter covered up a lot of area, and also spread the load across a wide area of thin sheet metal. In todays world these washers are used in electrical, construction, HVAC, and general industrial applications. The purpose of a washer is to spread the load from the head of the bolt across a wider area than the bolt head, which increases the strength of the joint. Fender washers do this well because the outer diameter is so much larger than the diameter of a standard flat washer. These standard thickness Fender washers are manufactured in Steel Zinc. Made in the USA. These flat washers are produced in the USA for excellent quality conformance. One of the significant differences between less expensive imported products and ours are the way we stamp. Many cheap imports are produced on gang dies that produce 10 or more washers per stroke of the press. Using such a large die means that the individual washer sets are not adjustable - when the punch wears, the dimensions change and there is no way to fix this as the press produces washers, leading to a large variation in the finished part.
Materials available in many other countries are not as consistent as the domestic steels we use, which gives the imports a cheaper cost, but can lead to failures and inconsistencies when the products are used. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) was created to address this problem. Our materials are DFARS compliant although we do not supply the certification except on special order.
Islam: Spirit and FormIslam: Spirit and Form, which throws light on the basic principles of Islam from the spiritual perspective, is a reference book in all regards.The book talks about the three important steps that take a human being to the presence of the Divine. Islam, the first of these steps, is to surrender. The second is submission, the state of mind that finds its true meaning once crowned with faith or iman. And the third is iman; the light of the candle of servanthood.
Contributing to the development of conscious generations to duly represent the honor of Islam is the objective of the work at hand.
To remind of the necessity of sincerely embracing the basic principles of the religion…
To carve into hearts the love of worship…Salat, for instance; to offer it in a way that emulates the manner in which the righteous have offered it. To tightly fasten the belt of love and then set out on the road to hajj…To offer zakah with the will to genuinely purify oneself…To offer sawm, to fast in the manner of the Prophet –blessings and peace be upon Him-. To clutch onto deeds of worship with sublime motives; to execute each of them with overflowing love.
If you are of the mind to renew yourself, to give yourself a lift, then your first rendezvous with Islam: Spirit and Form should be the first step towards quenching your heart.
