Bottle washers.

[flamingo]

Was wondering if anyone knows how to come by the collar washers shown in the 'pic.

They were used on the two pint Bulmer's cider bottles that are no longer used. I have about 4o bottles but unfortunately the only thing that ever needs replacing are the washers.

I am wondering if anyone knows where I can replace the rubber collar washers with an internal thread like the ones used on the old Bulmers cider bottles.
2 years ago I received a reply from a poster on here giving the web address of a seller which I bought some from but turning up the post/thread I see the web addy is now not shown.
Any advice appreciated.

Make them yourself from a sheet of silicon would be a easy solution. You can buy washers for the Grolsch style flip top bottles off Ebay or brew shops but I think they would be slightly too small but search and see what you think
Just thought if you buy a length of rubber tubing of the right diameter you could cut them from that

Yes good idea as an alternative solution, but the ones I bought online were perfect so would like go down that route again. But will certainly bear your advice in mind as a plan B.

As @the baron has mentioned go the silicone route but get a loaf tin as its thicker and you could use two sockets to punch them out.

 

[flamingo]

Yes will do but must first hold on in case anyone knows of the website that was previously mentioned or any other that stocks the washers.

wow, I have not seen tops like that since I were a lad & they were on my dads home brew bottles

Hi Chippy,
Yep that's the one I was looking for.

You are, without doubt, both a gentleman and a scholar. But then again, I should'nt expect anything less from someone who hails from the Furness peninsula. :hat:

Many thanks.
