[Fot] Misab seals

[Ponostyle]

The rubber spring mounts washers and their little metal caps suck toads. You want multi-turn spring washers or flat wave washers. You tighten them down a little and check the gap with feeler gauges. It’s hard to find weber mount kits that come with them these days. I accidentally bought the squishy rubber ones once and they died in a weekend.
