@tb80 - I just left out the washer when I installed a new one touch on my SS performer. It did the trick until I updated to the newer style ash catcher that I mounted to the leg holes with pop rivets.
Any issues with performance when you left out the washer?
None that I can remember. Give it a shot and if it isn't quite sealing up tight you can always wire or clamp the ash catcher ring, remove the cross bar, and add the washer back in.
