Just wondering if anyone knows where I can source the nylon washers for the heater control levers.
I know the likes of RS Components sell them, but you can only get them in boxes of 50, which is about 46 more than i need.
FYI, this is the type of thing I need, but just the washers:
Heater lever control kit
whats the inner and outside size ? as we use some nylon washers at work ,but only in limited sizes
Hi pod. I'D is 8mm. OD is 27mm but the OD is not critical. Cheers cam
Hi
If you cant find any you could make some with some flat sheet and a hole saw.

Again Pod, thanks for coming to the aid of my resto. Here are some pics:
The old and mostly has it factory washers with the custom machines Delrin washers from Pod.
Assembly stage with cleaned/painted components. Washers are a perfect fit.
And all assembled, just needing final adjustment down the track
In case anyone was wondering what Delrin was. It's a DuPont product, tradename for Acetal. Properties from their site are:
"DelrinŽ acetal resin bridges the gap between metals and ordinary plastics with a unique combination of creep resistance, strength, stiffness,
hardness, dimensional stability, toughness, fatigue resistance, solvent and fuel resistance, abrasion resistance, low wear and low friction."
Sounds perfect for the job.
