Auto parts stores

The dealership should have the washers, if not take the old ones to some of the other local auto parts stores... shouldn't be difficult to find a couple the right size.

In a pinch you can improve your odds or reliably using the old ones if you anneal them with a torch and then make sure the two faces are perfectly smooth by buffing with some 600 grit sandpaper... I don't recommend this as I'm not accepting any liability if you do and you end up having to pull the damned thing back out because it leaks.

A good place to look at when searching for automotive bolts, nuts, washers, and screws if you can't find them at the auto parts store is Ace Hardware if you have one you can go to. They carry more options than Home Depot or Lowes when it comes to Automotive Hardware.
