Oil drain plug seal

I know this question will get me the wooden spoon award but does anyone know where to buy a stock of copper washer/seals
at a reasonable price? When I changed the oil on my 406 for the first time I found 2 or 3 washers stuck together. My local
stealer charges a fortune for a copper washer - if they were made of platinum I would not mind so much.

no probs mate.
just remember when you change coolant keep an eye on the temperature gauge for a few days after.
if it acts different from normal and goes well over 90 stop imediatley. you may have an air lock.
