Hi, Is there a source for the red fiber washers such as the ones on the petrol taps and on the crankcase drain plug (16H) They seem to be non existant everywhere I look over here.

The plumbing types always seem to be a bit on the small side in terms of OD.

Are you looking for something like these, Sam ?

I don't know the trader.

Over a pound each with p&p for 5, that's fibre washers for the super rich!

If you are in the USA Robb does them I think if not they do small assortment kits of them for about £10

Ooops, I thought they were hard to find, thats what happens when you dont check the internet. I was barking up the wrong tree, checking with auto parts stores and motorbike parts stores with no luck, I'll check the plumbing supply store in town tomorrow, if I cant find anything, I can get it online.
