Let me restate the question.

 to just buy them if they are available

Earnest,

an other approach is to use a device similar to those  shown in ACS ca= talog,  sized to your application. You stick the washer in between the= nut and the manifold, when torqued appropriately, bend one tab to meed the= flat of the nut and the other 1 or 2 to the manifold.
they come flat (not from ACS

Of course, to remove the nut, you have to peen the locking tab down and rep= lace the washer on reassembly.

Beats drilling and safety wiring, much more secure and quite a bit easier.<= br> Rich
