Brick foam arbors

I want to use some brick foam arbors I have as the bushings for a light graphite spinning reel seat. The arbors are a tiny bit smaller in diameter than the reel seat. Is it OK to go ahead and use them and just add a few wraps of good masking tape to the arbors to create a tight fit? Thanks!

They should be 'slightly' smaller than the reel seat; if quite a bit smaller, I'd wrap some size D thread around the arbor and try it for fit. I wouldn't use the masking tape, though.

I've used size 16 arbors with Pac Bay seats and they fit fine. Then grab an AmTak 16 seat and I have to wrap thread around the brick foam arbors to get them to fit properly. Would be nice if all were standardized, but they're not...
