mhh
just measure them end don´t come back there..
i know there are special car seal rings wich are commonly used by oil plugs..
wurth do they...its copper with something in it..
They woud do that job nicely..
TKs
and for less for that money you could almost buy a set of new plugs

I only used 4. I can't think why you'd need eight.

How can you possibly need 8?
I got mine from this guy on ebay, I think he does them for most bikes so might be worth an email (£6.90 for 4):
EBAY
GASKETS

I need 8!! I used the old ones!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Buy some quick as the price of Copper has gone up three fold in the last year!
It isn't just copper ring either... it is a copper tube and has a heat retardent material in the middle. So making them not so easy to make -
but £4 each is a bit much.
