It looks like I'm missing a couple of the spacers that fit behind the buttons on a 40-165.  Do I need them?  If yes, does a anyone have reproductions and just what are they called?
Thanks,
Keith

I assume they are rubber? They kind of look like something to keep the dial light from leaking through the preset button holes.

Yes, they are hard rubber.  I was wondering if they were there to keep the buttons from being pushed in too far.  If they are there to keep the light out I won't worry about replacing them.
