Are you talking about the copper crush washer between the bowl and bowl nut?
Olddude.com has them.
Don't substitute.

Neil!

Rolled copper crushwashers are also available from your local JAMES Gaskets dealer.

Seals of this design benefit if the lip of the bowl is machined clean of blemishes,

and square to the top.

Otherwise, re-use, which may be necessary someday on the side of the road, is compromised.

Substitution is only necessary if there is such erosion around the hole that a wider appliance is required. And occasionally a thinner seal is needed when bowlstem threads have been damaged.

Linkert's predecessor Schebler used a red fiber washer similar to drain and floatvalve gaskets,
but today, more modern materials are available.
