Excellent idea with the tape and sandpaper deal, as I've already ruined one ring AND cut myself, ha ha ha.Thanks for all the awesome info. They ARE size "113" right ? I can't find my little packet with 2 left in it, guess I gotta order another few.
Thanks for the kind words, glad to help when I can. Too bad you didn't know the tape trick before, makes a good makeshift bandage for that cut.......
Yup, -113 not -112.....my mistake there. Full points to Stu for catching it right away.
I could accurately punch these out to exact size and sell them for not a lot if people really wanted them.
Very good point, only the ID is critical of course, but there should be more 'give' so the stems will feed through an even smaller hole than with the ring I think (meaning fit is less critical).
Making such punches is easy enough for soft stuff like this, but hammering will kill them fast unless they're properly hardened (like gasket punches are). Not that difficult, but past some folk's ability? Use of an arbor or other press would make the punch last a lot longer.
Fun project, IMO. Hopefully someone will give it a lash?
Thanks.
