Great advice - thanks Michael - however, the Leather pump washer that I need has to be roughly 22mm ( or exactly - who knows ) but none of the leather pump washers I am finding online have the outer diameter specified. Does anyone know which Silca Part# leather pump washer has an OD of 22mm? Or any other pump washer will do - so long as it has the correct outer diameter...
Thanks
