Last time I was at the dealer they had them a pennies a piece. They may offer you the aluminum as well but I always use the copper.

The type I am looking for is the type that has a fiber in it so it crushes down. Asberstos is what used to be used, but not any more. These seals are a type that seals very well but is used only once, because once crushed, they cannot be crushed to seal again. I have ordered a few times recently but every time what is sent is the solid copper washer, not the crush washer. Any ideas where I can get these in the right size.?
