I encountered a situation where I needed a spacer, or shim, to get the
bracket to mount firmly to the winder.  My first solution was a flat washer
also.  It worked or, but tended to work loose fairly quickly.  I made a
"washer" from some thin cork material and it was outstanding.  It was quite
snug and did not loosen with use.  The trouble was it didn't last long; the
cork would tear within a few attach/detach cycles.  A piece of neoprene
rubber did the trick.  Made it years ago and it still is in routine use.

If you can get a Metz flash, 45 or 60 series, go for it.  OTF control
modules for all major cameras, they will light up a cavern :)  A great tool.
