The Vicky Brit catalogue shows four different sizes (.0190", .0025", .0045", 
.0092").

www.victoriabritish.com.

Or Ted Schumacher might have some (www.tsimportedautomotive.com, and Ted's 
on this list), or Roadster Factory (www.the-roadster-factory.com), or Moss 
Motors (www.mossmotors.com).

In a pinch, get some tin snips and cut your own. Once in they just sit 
there. There's no real stress on them once compressed and it's not critical 
the ID and OD be perfect, just the thickness. When I needed real thin ones I 
cut them out of newspaper offset printing plate (.007" -- so thin I could 
use regular scissors).
