freshfish wrote: Thanks, my washers have an inner diameter of 5mm and a outer diameter of 25mm so those ones on trademe won't be suitable unfortunately. Thanks for the smoothdrag.com pointer, I just would have assumed it was an American supplier and therefore looked past it but I see they have a NZ distributor, so I will check it out now. |
