Windy, as I recall, the gap between the headphone jack washer and front
panel was about 0.017".  If you just want to close the gap and get rid of
the rattle, you might try what I did: a trim washer from a spare 1/4" jack
was 0.018" and added just the right amount of spacer to eliminate the rattle
and fit the front panel w/o any discernible flex +/-.
