I knew it was a stupid purchae at the time, but a few years ago I bought some Protone Scandium cranks because they were the narrowest Q Factor DH rated 165mm cranks I could find and they are a pinch bolt type. Being Italian the company went tits up and parts are NLA.

So, I'm wondering if there has ever been any other 25mm spindled cranks or if any of you smart people know where I can get nitrile discs made so they don't look like I have cut them with scissors?

There is no plastic tube like a Shimano or RF setup and oddly the four year old Nachi bearings are still okay, pretty impressive as they are always wet when I pull the cranks apart.

Cut em with scissors, no one cares anyways

What do they do? Cover the bearings?

Yeah, I pinched one of the nitrile rings .
Wonder if a gasket punch would be good enough to do it? I could use one at work.

Maybe not that good a set though, they are spendy.

You googled fibre/plastic washers/shims online to make sure you can't find/buy what you need?
