Little rubber coil to rod spacers

[all iron]

I need some of those little washers that go in the end of the lower rod
5 inch coil isn't tight enough without one

anyone know where i can pick them up or possibly a even cheaper alternative?

you should be able to use an O ring in place of the rubber washer... Lowe's or Home Depot should have one. A garden hose/washing machine hose washer should work. If they are too large just cut it to fit..

I use Tap washer that you can buy from most DIY stores over here in the UK usually they come in multi packs and various sizes and cost a fraction of the factory washers prices and from the same compound rubber as well,and as they are so cheap to buy its worth having a few back up just incase you need them in the future.

Make some from a plastic coffee can lid or an old innertube? Sharpen the end of a short copper pipe to make a punch to cut better circles or just use a knife and scissors.
