Default For Want of $10 in Parts

Saw a fuel stain on the belly of the RV-6 today. After investigating, it
turns out that the carb bowl is loose and I need to replace the gasket
between the bowl and the body of the carb.

The problem is that my local source - Aircraft Spruce, only has the
gasket. They don't have the little bent-tab washers that are required to
safety the bolts holding the carb bowl. With only 3 working days until I
head to Osh, I need some suggestions on a source for those washers.

By the way, I'm near Atlanta.

As it turned out, I ordered the parts from Aviall and installed 'em this
evening. Hopefully the carb bowl will stay nicely attached for a long
time...
