Local source for copper washers?

My locker levers are leaking from the back bolt after a recent rebuild. Can I use locally sourced copper washers here or is there something special about the ones from sav? Anyone know the size off hand? Otherwise I'll yank one off and match later this week.

Any copper washer of the correct dimensions should be fine. You could also anneal the existing washers and reuse them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(metallurgy) I would not hesitate to source them locally (or order them from Scott).
The one SAV is calling out from what I can tell is 10mm id x 18mm od x 1mm thick, as I read the spare parts catalogue I see two other possible “ditchtring”s (copper rings to the rest of us) those being 3.2 part number 900.3708 (14mm id x 18mm od x 1mm (or 1.5mm) thick)) or 5.2 part number 900.4231 (12mm id x 18mm od x 1mm (or 1.5mm) thick) from what I see in the spare parts catalogue two different sizes "may" be required depending on which side of the banjo fitting it’s on.
