Source for Distributor Fiber Thrust Washer

My BN4 distributor was REALLY nasty. In the process of disassembling and cleaning it out the fiber thrust washer that goes between the main body and the drive dog was broken. This washer isn't sold by Moss, AH-Spares, or even BritishCarSpecialists. Does anybody have a suggestion on where I can get a new (or used) one. Short of that does anybody have a suggestion for a similar material that I could make one from with a dremel and/or grinder?

One of the distributor specialists should stock them: Google for: Advanced Distributors in the USA, or The Distributor Doctor in the UK.
 
Advanced Distributors replied to me and suggested that I use a Delco distributor washer. I have one ordered so hopefully that will work for me. Thanks for the suggestion John!
