    I pack the shroud (tube) full of grease and any excess is pushed out when you insert the shaft. I use Sta-Lube marine grease

    Hi Gary.
    These would do the job.
    Search for β€˜nylon washers’. There are a lot of sellers who sell multiple sizes, usually giving you two choices, size and quantity.
    You need M4 which will usually have a 4.3mm diameter hole. The next choice is quantity. You will notice that it costs less to buy more, sort of, so 20 should be about right.
    Peter.
    I cannot promise to finish one project before starting another. I know, I tried.

    For what its worth, I use Sta-lube Marine grease. It seems to have the right consistency and it come it a grease cartridge so you can use a grease gun if you have added a zerk fitting and you can also just scoop some out and hand pack.

    You can get the washers on eBay from the β€˜bolt shop’. I also use these nylon washers.
