So I was moving my Garmin mount between bikes and I've managed to lose one of the spacer washers that go into the mount.
Anyone know where I might be able to pick one up? They are not a listed spare on the Garmin site.
Thanks

When stuff like this happens I search on the internet to look for alternatives, trouble is what would you call this thing!
What i have done before is add a standoff to a washer for the same effect

I spoke with customer services this morning and they was as helpful as a chocolate teapot.
Looking at the breakdown for the motorcycle mount, I saw part number 011-02023-90, which is a little bag of screws, nuts and the washers. Sadly nothing in the UK.
Guess I will have to find something else intead.

What's the material that it's made of? Could you measure the sizes and get one made?

Maybe a piece of brass or aluminium tube of the right external diameter could be cut to length. Add a washer.
Such tube may be available in hardware stores - but a larger collection could be found in model shops - eg model railway or other craft shops. Measure the internal and external diameter. The Internal is not crucial - the bolt needs to fit through it. The external needs to fit snugly inside the rubber mount. The tube should not fit through the washer.
