Front shocks

Does anyone know what size washers fit on top of the shock absorber cartridge?? I've tightened the caps as much as the rusted thread will let me but there is still a small amount of play!
Cheers

Play is probably in your top mounts mate, its normal

The top mounts don't sit flush, they're not designed to. They have to move with the suspension and the steering. As long as there isn't enough room to wiggle your finger about under the caps then you're fine.
