Just when I didn't think they existed, I see this on FFC - http://www.ffcobra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=189830

Spacers ...not washers.

Those are "spacers" to increase intake volume...not washers.

They are machined from plates of Delrin, GS Nylatron. or in some cases Bakelite.

Are those really words, or are you making them up as you go along?

Have several bars of the GS Nylatron in my tool box. I used to machine wrist pin buttons out of the stuff to replace wire or Spirolox wrist pin retainers.

If you think I'm pulling your leg...call Cadillac Plastics and buy some for yourself. It isn't cheap...!

Ok, I'm in over my head now with words like Delrin, Nylatron, Phenolic, Bakelite - Who hired the NASA engineer to post here?

Hey…take a crash course…and you too can fit right in at your next NASA Engineering social function…

Ok hot shot ( ) what about a flux capacitor? Sorry, had to get that in there. Trying to draw Mike De Geer out of the bushes.

Boy, I stumbled on to the wrong thread. I thought you guys were talking about washers played while drinking beer, but I didn
t see the term leaner or tube anywhere.

Ok hot shot ( ) what about a flux capacitor?

And how much energy does it take to "activate" the Flux Capacitor?

A: In the customized De Lorean DMC-12 "time machine" from the 1985 Academy Award Wining movie "Back to the Future", once you reach 88 mph, using Plutonium in a nuclear reaction to generate 1.21 gigawatts of power, the car is able to transport in time...

Fun show, remember it fondly.

But then again, this has nothing to do with the Phenolic "washers"...

Uh, Scott, you suffer from BTTFitis, dork

Who needs washers? I thought duct tape fixed everything?
