[Jon Pike <jhpike@xxxxxxx>]

Ok..   well,  the fitting itself looks like it would be no problem,  
enough so I probably won't bother to go washer hunting..  we'll see.

I assume that the washer's main desirable feature would be a hole only 
slightly smaller than the
O-ring's inner diameter?  (uh, of course also an O.D. that would let it 
go in the idle adjust body!)
