    I don't know its name, but you know, in Boss pedals there is a screw to open the battery compartment (by your fingers, not by a screwdriver). And there is that plastic washer, oval shaped, that the screw is going through, at the pedal body.
    First does that have a special name? And do you know any online retailer selling this part?
    Thanks

    I would call it a grommet rather than a washer.

    Rubber, not plastic.

    Grommet, not washer.

    Available at any half way decent hardware store, although you might need to search around a bit for a good fit - take one to compare, buy more than you think you need!
