Army,
I did say 'thrust' washer !! Regular flat ones are much too soft.
You need something high tensile.
If you had an oxy set you could heat a washer & quench it.
A big spring washer may have a chance or better still a piece of leaf spring that has been shaped with an angle grinder.
A very large shaft key may work.
A car tire leaver if it was thick enough on the end.
Was just looking around the workshop when I thought of them. (11am Saturday here)
