Could you not just go to B&Q and get some that are approx the same size? Would they be cheaper?

I bought some repair washer off ebay a while back to be use for curing rear shock knock :) they are very similar size od and id to the part you are looking for but are quite a bit thinner so you would have to use a couple of them.
here is a pic to show the comparison - the one on the right is the repair washer ;)

comparison of dimensions:

oem od 38mm x id 12mm x 4mm thick
vs
repair washer od 40mm x id 13mm x 1.5mm thick

pic of repair washer on koni front shock dust cover - fits ok ;)

well glad we got a couple of the metal washers sorted for you - now it looks like you just need a couple of the white koni plastic washers to finish the job- i will measure up the ones i have here and drop u a pm - at least with the measurements you can get something very similar that will do the job and should only cost pennies. :)

thanks for the other 4th gen bits and pieces you dropped off - much appreciated ;)
