Regarding the Injector copper washers - seals: Is there a source for these alone, without buying the whole fuel return kit?

Had to temporarily remove one injector recently, and now am faced with either reusing the copper seal or spending $45 for a whole fuel return kit I'm not ready for yet. (Then, when I did need it, I'd be one washer short, having used one already).

Thanks.

Many thanks to @austin92 for mailing me some copper seals.

The question remains though, please: Where / how can I reliably source the copper washer /seal without the whole return kit? Isn't there a Mcmaster-Carr part number, or an IH part number that is compliant?

In a pinch I have reused them. Not very scientific but I blasted them with a propane torch to (hopefully) anneal them. I didn't have any problem afterwards.

I love Mcmaster-Carr! Did you try searching their site for Metal Sealing Washers :Thumbs Up

Ok. I'm an idiot. Actually, I did look on McMaster before posting this question, just searched by category instead of using those keywords. Great clue! Feel like the solution to the mystery is close...
