However much it goes up when I get my fat ass out.

Both times I just re-used the copper washer. No one had it, and in my experience they are re-usable unless they are really tore up.

I can't remember what size it was, but maybe it was a 18mm from what you are saying. You can't beat a metric wrench set that has ALL the sizes from 10mm up to 19mm. I find myself using the odd ball sizes more often that I would have thought. 18mm is a oddball size, as well as 16mm. But the set I have has them all in 1mm increments.
