Where to buy Nord-Lock washers?

I'm having trouble with my manifold to turbo bolts loosening up over time and I've heard good things about the Nord-Lock washers...

http://www.nordlock.com/

Any idea where to purchase these or any other ideas to keep them from loosening?

Thanks!

McMaster-Carr has something similar, called a belleville washer. I've found them to work wonders in high vibration areas.

nordlock washers are the ****!!!! use those at work... great for high heat applications like turbos.. Also look into serrated all metal lock nuts. Combine the two and they wont be coming loose without a wrench

How well do these types of washers work longterm, and what effect does it have on the material surface? Does it eat away or anything at the manifold?

They work great, I've used them on the lower balljoints on my car.

They work fine, I've taken a few off that were on an aluminum intake for 31 years. Left an impression of the washer pattern in the AL, but no actual damage.
