[Boatanchors] fiber or nylon washers

[K0DAN]

Ace Hardware stores (and others similar) have rows of drawers with unusual 
hardware...I have seen many nylong, fiber, etc., bushings, standoffs, 
washers, etc. Can't help you directly but if you have access to one of these 
hardware stores, you'll probably find what you're looking for,

I don't think the big box stores (Home Depot, Loews) have as good a 
selection for non-mainstream hardware.
