Not that I know of...I got mine from Hervey. Maybe McMaster or Grainger. I guess it's worth an Internet search if you have the diameter.

I was just looking for some and couldn't find any at the usual places - FARPS.
The guy at NAPA of all places looked at me as if I had two heads when I asked him.

Land rovers and vintage VW Beetles also require crushable washers

You are unlikely to find the "correct" sized ones at auto parts stores. Believe me I tried when I was reassmbling my fuel system and dropped a washer into the valley. With none to spare I scoured the market. I managed to find one with an suitable inside diameter but way larger outside. Fortunately it worked in the location I needed it.
One place I didn't try where you might have luck is plumbing supply places.

It really is shockingly difficult to find these things. Really don't understand why.
