Default Plastic Washer

Over the years if you have a need of a special plastic or nylon washer for
something and you dissassemble, the one washer that always gets lost is
the
plastic one. Today I was replacing the seat on my motorcycle and guess
which washer wasn't there. The plastic one that goes between the rear
seat
bolt down tab and the fender. I paniced for way to long, and then I
grabbed
piece of plastic that felt about right and cut one on the mill. I
actually
spent less time setting up the g-code and cutting the washer than I spent
running around paniced looking for a washer first. LOL. Less than ten
lines of code, and hardly any time to cut at all.

If you have a tool you will use it.


Coffee can lid and a pair of scissors..... G

I've done that before. I keep trimming and trimming trying to get it to
look nice and usually wind up with a wash 1/10th the size I need before it
looks good. LOL. This time I used a but macadamia nut jar lid and a Taig.
