If i had my lathe i would just make them myself, but it is in storage and so im stuck.
Trying to find a source of M27 shims locally, or recessed washers. I would use standard M27 washers, but at ISO they are 50mm OD which means that they dont sit well against the curved pot/kettle wall. I cant use a standard recessed nut because they are too thick and dont allow it to seal properly, hence looking for a washer solution. These are readily available in the US, but not here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006U1MTZ2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=B006U1MTZ2&link_code=as3&tag=theelectricbrewery-20
A standard 1/2" 3mm thick washer could have a recess machined in it to contain the silicone seal, but no-one seems to do this.
Anyone know of suppliers for these items? Or have another solution?
