Large compresion copper washers??
 
Hi all

After a supplier for some large dia copper washers. Am after some 1 3/4 ID and 2 in ID.

Thier for the large plugs that are on the top of the clack and pump for our fowler, always seem to get a little bubble of water in between the mateing flanges no matter what gunk we try.

Thanks

David

Anneal them too so they squeeze down to seal tight. Jobs a good 'un!

A bit of 1mm copper sheet , some compasses , a 1/8 drill and some files and tinsnips will do the job .

I still hurt from last time I tried to use her dressmaking scissors, she was also not amused that I used her stick blender for mixing paint- no sense of humor at all!!!

Ian , those are not scissors , but tailor's shears . Forty years ago in London you could pay over £100 for a decent set of large shears . Now I know that Mrs L. does not work in Saville Row , but do play fair !
