If you notice any discrepancy in the appearance of the washers included in the NorComp 160-000-010R032 hardware kit, such as the flat and lock washers in the newly received kit having a matte, dark, oxidized appearance compared to the glossier finish of previously received components, please refer to the manufacturer’s response below:
Upon review, The manufacturer explained that the differences are due to the parts being made at two different facilities, which use slightly different materials and finishes.
- For Kit 160-000-010R031 (individual kits):

- Lock Washer: Stainless steel
- For Kit 160-000-010R032 (bulk kits):
