I would go to a hydraulics place, but irrc these are a odd size, I got ones and had to lightly enlarge the centres a touch.
You can re anneal(soften) the old ones by heating to cherry red then allowing to cool, they will be nice and soft again.

Wish I'd known about the heating thing!

Just re-installed my fuel pump and re-used the copper washers on the banjo as kit didn't come with them. Hope it's ok, or shall I take them off and 're anneal' them and re-fit them?

Just to update you all,the banjo bolts and washers are still available from Ford,banjos are £7 odd each and washer around 40p each.As said though I will get some copper washers due to the sealing issues with the Ford washers.
Many thanks.Lee.
