Can anyone tell me the correct name for the fastener that's commonly used to hold the wheels onto an axle of kids toys, or push chairs. It looks like a domed metal cap with a captive star washer inside that pushes onto the end of the axle and the "teeth" on the star washer grip the end of the axle to stop the cap from coming off.
If I can find the proper name I might then be able to google to find a source for them.
Thanks David.
So let me see if I've got this right. You want a domed cap with a star washer in it. Hmmm let me take a real flyer on this on this and type "domed cap star washer" into Google. Yeah I know, I'm just a real crazy guy but I'll give anything a whirl once.
GM... I think we have a new way of attaching wheels... :-)
Dave, not everyone has our engineering background. Give him some slack and tell him what he wants.

No, didn't think so !
Thank you for being polite, you're so right, not many people know how to ask because they don't know how to describe what they're asking for.

Heh. Had a lift in a Jeep Wrangler 4x4 something the other day. I heard what you mean.
I did actually - it found this thread amusingly :)
Although interestingly, it now finds some indian site above it. In fact, there seems to be several indian sites. Are as fasteners made in india these days or something?
:-)

I dunno what its called but model shops sell em to hold on model plane wheels.
dude, dunno if you got your answer or not, i can't bear to read all the following smugness. what you are after are called starlocks, you can google it & buy a kit, or get individual ones from a engineering fastner stockist.
hope this helps
