oily trigger points-again

I am following up on my prior post of 8/28/13, which was in turn a follow up on my preceding post of 9/8/09 on the same topic.
I have now identified a fiber disc that precisely fits the distributor shaft below the trigger points (.5") and the inner housing of the distributor (2.75"). You won't believe it.

Most, if not all, port-o-potty distributors place several flexible fiber DEODORANT DISCS around the inside of the port-o-potty stall periodically, and then change them out at regular intervals as their deodorant qualities diminish. Fitting a worn out (deodorant wise) one of these discs in my distributor below the trigger points has effectively blocked oil from fouling my trigger points for years.

If you don't want to "borrow" a used one from your nearest port-o-potty, the discs are made by Walex Products, but can only be purchased in packages of 50, I believe, but I'm pretty sure even that many aren't very expensive.
