I'm repairing a mobility scooter. It has tab washers (picrel right) on the wheel axel bolts. I can only find one place online selling them and they're cash rape.
Could I get away with left (picrel). How much less secure will it be, would it be sufficient?

Maybe you should make one, yourself.

It might help if you show a picture of how it's supposed to be mounted, otherwise it's hard to tell if something else would work. If it doesn't have to be very strong you could probably make your own with a piece of flashing, a drill, some snips, a file, and pliers. How trashed are the originals that you can't just reuse them?

use your head
you can fabticate that gayass lock washer from a coke can, you can use a nylon lock nut, you can use locktide on the nut, etc.

So three options for you OP
1. It's a generic part you should be able to order online for $5, instead of searching for the machine it came off, search for what the part actually is.
2. Use generic lock tight nuts. The issue is that they wouldn't tension the washer, so the washer spinning would tend to make even locktights fall off eventually and it might squeak. And you don't want an old person's wheel falling off. But hey, $5, get the thing working for the next few months.
