Hey Guys,

Just wondering what size washers to use for the [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron), and where

Would pick them up (home depot, ace).

Thanks!

[GBFans.com](http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=13358) check that thread there. Umori makes them in a standard size or custom size if you want to change up his standard measurements a bit. His products are top notch and the price can’t be beat.

I found some 2-3/8" OD x 1-1/4" ID x 1/8" washers at my local Runnings store…like a hometown Lowes.

If you have the patience and a sharp blade, you can easily cut these from plastic for next to nothing.

Got mine at Stine. They’re made of nylon.

Can’t say what size except, “what looked the best.” I can say that for the way my lights worked I had to buy 8 washers and stack them in 2’s to give the LED enough room to poke through the cake pan into the washers.

This is what I did. Used a hole saw to cut out the centers and and cut the circle with a razor blade from .125" styrene. Probably one of the cheaper ways to go.
