Fitting a basin to a wall?

Last time I fitted a basin, it came with some nice fittings:

is a nut, a penny washer, and a stud with a machine thread one end, and a wood thread the other.



There is also a spacer (under the washer) with a skirt that fills the gap between the stud and the very wide slot in the basin.



As you can see, it's quite difficult to describe without knowing the names! Any clues as to what these are really called?

=============================== I think you're looking for a 'double-diameter' spacer/ washer but I'm afraid I don't know a source. A bit of extended 'googling' might provide a source. You'll probably find an example (steel - for comparison purposes) on your angle grinder where it centralises and locks the grinding disk.

Cic.

================================ If all else fails, you could probably cannibalise the round bits from this item:

Used to be known as load spreading washers.

OK, you try taking a photo up under the back of a basin :)

Thanks all for the info.

This looks more like a B&Q one.

It was, a Barcelona.

The latest one I bought from there (a cheaper model) didn't have fittings. By the time I've paid for the fittings and delivery, I'm not much better off :(

I meant B&Q as opposed to Focus ;-)
