SEALING WASHERS, Copper and Fiber - CF-151

I often have problems with small sealing washers falling out of their designated baggies and becoming lost or loose and unidentifiable. There are also occasions when I need a seal washer I don't have in hand, and it is a royal PITA to have to place a parts order and wait (especially when minimum shipping charge is more than the cost of the part). So I have compiled this list of every copper and fiber sealing washer used in the MGA (and common to some other cars as well). It is listed first in order of sizes, ID x OD x Thickness so you identify a loose part with corresponding part numbers and where it is used. It should also help to find a part at a local hardware or auto parts store. Immediately following is a spread sheet copy (click to download) that you can sort in order of part numbers (or any other way you like) .
