Title: drop out protecting washers?
Post by: kowalski74 on August 19, 2015, 09:05 AM: Sorry if this has been asked before, but do any of you use a nylon/plastic washer to save the dropouts on your show ponies?
I've seen those machined metal types on rear dropouts, but am looking for a discreet washer for the front and rear.

thanks in advance

Daryl
