Ludwig Washers - Where Can I find them?

Loading...

I am in need of washers for the bass drum tension rods and floor tom tension rods of my 1960's Ludwig Classic drums.

I have gone to my local Ace Hardware, but have not found any washers that match close enough to the original ludwigs.

Has anyone had any luck locating a similar match for the tension rods at their local hardware store ie. Lowe's, Home Depot, Menards?

Or does anyone have a handful that they don't need? I could go the ebay route, but even then im not guaranteed they will be the matching washers etc, also dont feel like paying $20 for shipping when the combined weight of the washers in less than an ounce.

All the ones I have found in my house or at Ace Hardware either are to thick, the center hole is either too small or too big, or the washer has the right center hole size, but the body of the washer sticks out a considerable amount.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
