Y’know, I never could find washers big enough for my pack, so I used an alternative - plastic. Once it’s sprayed black, no one knows hte difference. And, when you think about it, it also cuts down on some of the weight (although its minimal to be sure.)

Other than that, I’ve always heard that for the larger washers (1" and over) you would need to head down to a place that sells industrial strength tools and hardware. I can’t think of a name right off the top of my head, though, sorry.

I cut my washers out of cardboard. Using the hole in the center of a 45 RPM record as a template makes the hole in the center of the washer about the right size.

I used the 1" washers and they seem almost perfect as far as size go and with no added wieght issues. Check out my pics on the productions and productions 2 page of this site: [http://www.freewebs.com/gbh3llbent](http://www.freewebs.com/gbh3llbent)
