Thanks guys- to close the loop, Auceco does not sell direct. Fastenal is not stocking them and wouldn't order in a small quantity(One box). My west marine couldn't help either.

Auveco gave me a list of other local suppliers and one near me, a auto parts supplier, was more than happy to order one box for me

:: I found these finishing washers at my local hardware
:: store and they also have them at our local West Marine.
::
:: :: You can order them through west marine and or port
:: :: supply in qty of 100. I still have at least 80 left.
::
:: :: Peace

:: :: :: A Google search for "flush finishing washer" tuned up
