    Yeah anywhere that sells copper washers. Ovbiously take the old ones off so you know you're getting the right size.

    They aren't really designed to be used over and over and over again, so frsh ones will stop the leak.

    Copper washers form the seal, so they are basically the gasket on this part of the setup! Very important!

    Give Goodrich a ring and make a special order. Tell them the fittings you want on the end and the length and bobs your uncle.
