Scott, aren't you talking about P/N 500623 ? Rimmers has several
thicknesses listed on their web site (0.146" through 0.166"), and TRF has a
single rather thick one listed in their 2002 catalog.
Another source would be Herman van den Akker, who has a stock of specially
made oversize washers, which he can machine to the thickness you need.
(Note that these are high strength hardened alloy washers, not just anything
will do.) Herman has on hand, or can make quickly, almost any of the
various washers, including thicknesses never offered by the factory (which
are sometimes required to compensate for wear in other NLA components).
I don't know if he's back from VTR yet, but when he is, you can contact him
