what size nylon washers do you need ?
I found by accident that you can make plastic and aluminum washers
with a simple hole cutter in a drill from 3/4" up to 2".

granted, you are limited to the size you can make by the size of the cutter.
a hole punch can make the center hole larger.
a small sheet of PVC plastic can be had for pennies from your local sticker sign shop.
if you need a lot of the smaller washers, use two hole punches - - - (punch the center hole first).

as for the mounting brackets . . . .

SS galvanized "L" brackets?

They can't be the same . . . they are either galvanized or stainless alone. Not one on the other.
And, if by chance you have some true galvanized angle iron, if you cut it, it will rust. Galvanizing zinc is only on the surface.
95% of the members here use cut off angle to make their own mounting brackets for flooring, decks, mounts, etc etc etc.

Hey guys.... I was WRONG! The brackets for my seats are ALUMINUM. Johnny sent me a PM. I was sure. Then I checked. With a magnet.
