I used 4mm thick, 15mm x 6mm rubber washers as they are a tight fit on the thread, which helps stop the screws un-screwing, I also put a smear of (dare I say it) Vaseline on the back as they can stick to the paint and peel it off.

Hi Jay,

Where did you buy these washers from please?

Good question Dan..... They were in my rubber washer box in the shed - they could be from anywhere, they look 'plumbing' like though  :^_^
try a plumbers supplies?  I bought a box of 'assorted plumbing repair seals' from Poundland a while back and there where a few in there - don't know if you have a £ shop near you?
