Something I should add that I've done in the past when it comes to insulating washers that do not have any significant voltage to them, as well as washers used to keep paint intact when a screw is tightened, is use plastic milk jug material.
you can easily cut the perimeter with scissors or if you have excessive OCD, you can take a pipe with the ID the right size, bevel the outside of the end to a point and use it with a block of wood on the other side, on the table as a punch, remove the wafer, then drill the center hole exactly the right size. Cheap, effective and in your fridge, right next to the IPA. 73, Gary KA1J > Greetings - > > I am restoring a J-38 key.
