I just called McMaster-Carr and they do not have these.  I am in need of a source for the tiny washers that go under the 3" long bolts that hold down the Blue Thunder style and Fe Power style valve covers.   Any help would be appreciated

OD- .495
ID-  .350
Thickness- .057

How many do you need? I have a few laying around I can send you I think. I get them at the hydraulic shop and there is one bolt supply house here that has them in stock.

2 would work if you could spare them.

Misumi and Essentra Components were my go-tos when McMaster Carr doesn't have simple hardware.

Grainger and MSC are worth a check, but I find their filter methods aren't as great.
