slinkymalinky Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Get an old or cheap new pair of thongs... discs cut out of thong rubber are perfect. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffy Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yep, size 11 thongs, $10 from woolies and gets you about 20 washers. Use the end of your pump to cut out the circles. Tuffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adjustedpete Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Slinky and Tuffy have it right, thongs are the go. I have used them and they last a season if you use them every weekend, otherwise a couple of years at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
