  if your alloy washer is knackered,or just goes missing.

 try a Dowty Washer/seal.

Nice one Ken ... We could do with a feature on here that lists all of this stuff, like electrical, seals  etc. I know we have recommended services but one post would be best (bit like the Dropbox literature links) . I don't mind doing it .

Edit: Started the ball rolling PM me with anything you would like adding  :)

You can get Dowty washers in small quantities and in a large variety of sizes on eBay.

I have used 6mm Dowty type instead of the expensive special fibre washers in the fuel tap
