missing washer

[mynydd]

Hi I have lost the very thin washer that goes into the recessed bit at the top of my crank arm (where the pencil is pointing to in the picture)
Can anyone tell me what it's called and where I could pick one up, ideally online? I'm pretty sure it's absence is causing an annoying click....
Thanks

I Swapped a Hollowtech BB out for a friend a couple of weeks ago and I never throw anything away so if you pm me your address I will put a washer in the post for you. Yours FOC - put some pennies in a charity box.

Amazingly I found the washers almost immediately. (My garage is somewhat overcrowded!) Will send 1st class tomorrow (PM received)
NHS is good with me and has been my employer for the last 34 years.

....... I've noticed that German and US suppliers often stock a good range of spares, while the big UK suppliers - Wiggle, Chain Reaction, Ribble etc have a very limited selection? WHY? Unfortunately the P&P make it unrealistic to order from abroad, except as part of a larger order

I know. Had to get a Sram chainring from Germany recently. SJS Cycles are usually the best UK bet for bits and bobs.

Thanks @mrandmrspoves it arrived today. Unfortunately it's the wrong bit. I need the very very thin (almost coke can thin) metal washer that fits into the recessed in the crank arm. But thanks very much for going to the effort, I'll still bung a couple of quid into a charity box

I guess I'd better get looking at the web page @fossyant posted, unless anyone knows anywhere else?

I think Madison is the only UK supplier for Shimano parts like these

Would I be right to think its an o ring I need?
Thanks

Oh that's a shame.
I must admit I never noticed that Hollowtech crank arms had these O rings!
