I removed the aluminum arch on my '95 31 Open for refinishing (fill holes from old equipment, corrosion, etc.). While prepping arch for paint, I drilled out the 50+ riveted snaps. Each snap is mounted with a white, plastic washer beneath it. I assume these are to help protect the painted surface when installing/removing the canvas.
Most of these plastic washers are brittle and/or cracked & I would like to replace them upon reassembly. They are approx. 5/8" in dia. & 1/32" thick. Any insight/info would be appreciated. Maybe a Tiara rep could comment?
