Anyone know how I can replace the bolt and mounting washer that the rear clam pivots on? I can source a bolt and circlip easy enough, but any ideas where I can get the plastic washer bit?

Had a look on SWL's parts website and can't see it.

The bolt is just a standard plated hex bolt with a hole drilled for the pin so that'll be easy to source, it's more the plastic "deep washer" that seems to sit inside the hole in the clam to reduce down from the clam's hole size to the size of the bolt.

It looks like it's made out of plastic so if worse comes to the worse I'll just fire up the lathe and sort it out, but I'm lazy and hoping someone has it "hanging around".
