Mr Stocktake Sir. It is very refreshing to see that some folk on the forum see the Double Entendre.----------

No need to find and buy replacements, they work harden in use - so all they need is to be annealed to make them good as new. Heat up in a gas flame to cherry red, then let them gently cool.

Copper washers on aluminium sumps is a no-no due to galvanic attac when wet.
