You have some options. Go to the dealership, or an autoparts store and see what u can find. You may be able to get away with reusing them as is (ive seen it done). I have only resused crush washers once and that was when i had to mess with my fuel filter. I held the "used" washers with a coat hanger over my stove and waited till they got red hot, then let them cool, and i reused them. I tried to reuse them without heating them up, but they would leak.

yeah thats how you do it with copper, heat it up with a torch propane is fine and get it red hot and use it when it cools, if its aluminum you can prob just get away with tightning em a little more
