need info on spacer/washer things inside trut assembly above shock

I stupidly threw away the washer/spacer rings that came with my tokico blues and well i need them. Does anyone know the dimensions of the piece, i was going to make one or two out of already existing spacers that are easy to find. P.S. Can anyone tell me if diamond racing wheels are legal on the street? Thanks God bless

Ok, its a cup washer so it has a rise in it of about 6mm from outer edge to the highest part of the washer (it then dips back down a little where the nut attaches). The washer is 38mm accross and the hole in the center is 11mm. I hope that is enough to help out. let me know if you need any more info. Pics are posible but not tonight.

no way i think your thinking of the wrong washer. It's more like a machine bushing with a pretty thin wall. It sits perfectly on top of the strut and it is the same size as the bottom of the BIG nut on the top of the strut tube. It's there so you can give more clearance for the nut when you tighten it up. Otherwise the nut is going to bottom out on the tup of the tube before you get it tight enough. I just used one but they give you 2 for each side.
