The little rings around the bolts

Hi everyone,

Again I have a question...

You know those little rings around the bolts at the bottom of the tube? Well, I think I had tighten them to much because most of them snapped or became stretched out to the sides. If you know what I mean :)

Now I've replaced them with exact the same size rings, but made from metal. And the metal rings are just a little bit thicker, the rest is the same. Does that make any difference with the air-leakage or whatever? Just wondering, so I won't mess up my V3 :)

Gr, Ivo

I'm not 100% sure why those little plastic washers need to be there. They don't affect the air pressure because they'e under the seal, and under the breather holes anyway. To be honest I often don't use the little plastic things and sometimes just have like half the bolts in.

they are there so that the bolts dont scratch the metal.
