...one of these?
My Google-fu is usually pretty good, but I can't find any UK suppliers. It's a keyed headset washer for 1" threaded headsets - I'd prefer a black one but I'll take what I can get.
What about a stunt scooter retailer.
Lots in America If your prepared to pay the $15 postage!!
Seems to be the sort of thing your lbs will have in their spares bin.
Thanks @bigginge, but those aren't in stock and they aren't for a threaded headset.
I think I’ve got one you can have for postage. Give an hour to have a look in the Shed.
@bigblackshed no worries, thanks for looking. I'll try the LBS, and there's a couple of bike recyclers around here who might have something.
I should have one. Due to the fact that I’m currently in the bath and my wife has discovered football, it’ll probably be tomorrow before I go and have a look. Direct message me with your email and I’ll let you know as as soon as I do. If I’ve got one I’ll post it for nowt, I’ve still got lockdown good will. Apart from Tories… they’re exempt from my goodwill, completely!
Does it need to be keyed? I can't think of any practical reason for a simple spacer to have it as opposed to canti bridges.
SJS and Decathlon both sell 1" spacers that will do the same job. Personally speaking I'd rather have one of those as the keyed ones tend to be made of pig iron.

If you're still looking for one I'll have a rumage in the box of usefulness tomorrow, I have a keyed canti bridge I was going to replace but I may have something else kicking about.
EDIT: post above appeared after I'd opened the topic, try that first but don't be surprised if it doesn't exist, been disappointed by them before.
The keyed washers enable the locknut to be tightened without the adjustment being compromised. Not essential but makes the fitting and adjustment easier. Steel between steel works quite well.
Every day is a school day, cheers 👍
@squirrelking - that's great, thanks. SJS were the first place I looked but managed to miss those. You're right, it doesn't really need to be keyed - it's replacing a canti hanger that I had to replace with a fork crown mounted uphanger because the new stem I fitted fouled the brake cable (why are these things always more complicated than they appear at first?).
@wheelsonfire1, thanks very much for the kind offer. I need some stuff from SJS anyway, I can just add these to that order.
<Edit> just seen your educational post about the keyed washer. May DM you after all 😀 </edit>
I’ve just checked and have a couple 1 inch washers with the key tap can drop one in the post.
