To be honest, unless you put a washer that's more than 1/4" thick, it's 
not going to give you a bad reading on your sump dip stick. Look at the 
gradation on the D.S.,  down a quart (which is 15% +/- of the sump 
capacity) is down the dip stick something like .5 inches.

I also think you can buy the felt from TRF and probably Moss. Hint, hint.
