Judging by my panels anyway, the washer seems larger than you describe. The parameter of the washer shows on the face of the panel. Maybe 7/16" -1/2" diameter I'm guessing. I can't measure at the moment, the panels are "undergoing treatment" using petroleum jelly & inside plastic bags.


But I see your meaning. Smaller appears cleaner. Also, without looking, the the washers for pre-72 door panels are as described.
