Leather washers

[David Bagley]

I'm not sure what the proper name for them is, but I've used the round 
rubber discs that are sometimes put either side of the bit in a horse's 
mouth (presumably to take up the slack in the steering!). They do need the 
round hole cutting square to fit around the crown staple.
