Crush washers

Anyone know where you can find crush washers and copper washers, that sort of thing? Seems silly to buy a whole new gasket kit....

If your talking about the ones for the oil drain plu, don't get em from Bus Depot. Theirs are 14mm ID when they should be 12mm. I'm looking at some for a Harley. I'll let you know. I've been using the aluminum washers for the sump on the drain plug. Good fit but they only come with the gasket kit. So I have several spare gaskets with no crush washer.

There's copper washers on the bolts for the taco plate and there's one on the oil control and oil relief bolts. It seems like I should use something that has some form fitting properties to it.

Thanks for the link! Bottom left hand corner is what you'd want. 12x18 hollow crush washer.

Ditto. That's a cool site. I've got 16mm and 22mm on the oil control and oil relief plugs. In the gasket kit I got the 22 was a crush washer and the 16 was copper.

On the taco plate Colin had told me that a copper washer was needed for each of the bolts to get a good seal.

That and the oil drain plug, but those usually come with the strainer gaskets.

Any others that I'm missing?
