What do you use for spacers?

[twall]

I am trying to "standardize" my toppers. I crank down the one that sticks out the most, and try to get the others as close as I can to making contact at that depth.

As many of you know, most "adjustable" contacts only mean you can loosen it up, and subsequently loosen up your center post in your dripper. You need a washer of sorts, to push that contact down, while being able to tighten it up. I've used Kanger grommets from old attys (cutting off the skirt, making a washer), but I've run out of them. Every washer solution I have found is battery-side based.

I have a Doomsday. I CAN adjust the pin for every atty. Then re adjust for the battery. I'd really rather just make all the the attys pretty much the same. So I don't have a gap on the attys with deep contacts, yet the ones that are now shallow are right.

In short, I want all my drippers and tanks to be the same depth. This will require a washer or spacer of some sort on the ATTY side. Suggestions?

It can't be metal. Delrin cut round and thin.

Indeed. Kinda figured that. But, aside from making delrin washers myself, what do I do?

If I could find a bag of clearo atty grommets, that'd do. Those are hard as hen's teeth to find.

I made an entire 510 insulator for an atty. It does sand easily. I don't think plastic washers would hold up to the current.

You can buy peek insulator rod. If you buy the right diameter, you could cut it with a dremel in thin slices. I would pre drill ahead of time before slicing. Probably a 3mm drill bit.

Yeah. I'm a machinist, and can make any delrin washer I want. Quite a pain, though.

I appreciate your input. Delrin is nicer than nylon to work with. It's harder and easier to machine or hand work. Just didn't know if there was something you guys used as a spacer stopgap to overcome an obvious design flaw. These washers or spacers should have been included, to truly make the pin both "adjustable" and "usable".

Just thought I'd ask.

THOSE ARE IT! Thank you! They work fine with most of it cut off and thrown away. LOL

I use an O-ring on the 510 post as a spacer.
