Does anyone happen to know where I can find the dimensions of the felt grease seal washers ( possibly Cleveland p/n 154-00400 ) that fit inside the pairs of cupped and tabbed washers on my Cleveland wheels? The wheels are older models and no specific part number is visible. Axles are 1.5"OD. The inside dia. of the steel washers is 1.75". There were no felt grease washers with my secondhand wheels, so I have nothing to guide me.
I assume that the inside edge of the felt washer should be in tight contact with either a spacer adjacent to the bearing(that should be in place - but isn't!) or the cylindrical outer surface of the wheel nut?
LAS supply them at around £45 inc. VAT & delivery for 4, but I may be able to have them made for me for about a tenner.

Just an update and for the record, I bought a single washer from LAS ( @ about £12 ), measured this and ordered replicas from worldofwashers.com
They supplied me, by return almost, with 10 felt washers exactly the same size as the Clevelands and made from what appears to be much superior felt, for £10 + p&p.
The Cleveland washer looks like it was made from the compressed contents of my vacuum cleaner, but I haven't installed the new ones so can't yet vouch for them.
