The total height of the stacked washers is 13/16" or 20.6mm. The diameter of the washer is 3/4" or 19mm

Cool, I'll have to tinker with some TIG welded ones, since I have the tube onhand already.

by the way, i got to use it on my recent yosemite trip. made sleepign in back a whole lot more comfy. also, i used it to lay some sheets of plywood down from home despot. remove the seat bolts, take out two chairs, lay ply down and then lay seats on top. very, very handy
