Thank You very much Supermario!

To make the rubber washers i use regular thickness bicycle inner tube rubber and just cut them to shape and add some fresh grease to the spider gears just before you final assemble.

I should also add that the tight fit of the rubber washer against the backside of the bevel gear and diff housing also contributes greatly to preventing the spider gears from rotating..it is not just the pressure on the spider gears that makes the mod work. Which is probably why the gears seem to be holding up fine.
