I am building a few wheels from various hubs and alloy rims I scored on ebay. The rim holes are not always drilled at the correct angles for the hubs I have. I'm getting a few hundred nipple washers made up, like these samples. What they do is allow the nipple to move slightly in the dimple to the correct spoke line. I use .250 nipples and drill (ir required) the hole a little bit larger.
The washers are made of stainless steel. I looked and looked on the web, but could not find any sources, so I'm having them made. The minimum is more than I need, so what I plan to do is order and sell the extra, at a loss.
$25 per wheel, 36 or 40 spokes. In a few days I will send the fellow making them the money, so if you are interested, let me know. If there's a lot of interest, I'll order more than the minimum.
