[Elecraft] Felt washer source?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

A useful option is a leather washer - easy to create from an old belt, etc.
- if you really don't want to get one from Elecraft.

Make sure that these washers are not chemically treated.  I think some are.
This is done to neutralize battery corrosion.
Might not be what you want on electronic equipment.
