Screws, bolts, spacers, and clips are the last-mile hardware that holds the whole machine together — literally. When you're doing a repair and the original hardware is missing, damaged, or stripped, "close enough" from the local hardware store almost never is. Metric vs imperial, grade differences, head styles that won't clear the neighboring part.
This is the genuine Nilfisk Advance OEM 140 5057 000 WASHER PROTECTIVE, part number 140 5057 000, brand new in the box. Right fastener means everything torques correctly, seats correctly, and stays put.
