Size and source for copper header washer

[John Ferrell]

Necessity is the mother of invention...
It is easier done if you wrap the wire around a 3/8 drill bit. Don't expect 
a perfect washer every time though. It is easier on the threads in the head 
if you flatten the washer a little with a hammer before installing.
