Can anyone here help me out...?

Please see the fotos below - I would love to find at least 4 (or more) of these black "washers" that were an OEM part of the 80's and 90's Grover mini-tuner sets that were installed on, among others, Guild Pilot basses...Today, with present Grover minis, these "washers" have been shrunken to much smaller "rings" and these rings are not what I want to use on my Pilot headstocks when I make changes or restorations...

If anyone here has either the "washers" themselves alone or a full set or two of 80's-90's Grover minis (NOS or good/very good condition), please let me know - I would be happy to buy them from you (or trade for other stuff maybe?) for a fair price...

Thank You all very much in advance for any help or considerations...👍🏻😊🍻

A washer is going to have a square edge and not tapered like the originals.
Is that OK?
The part in the photo doesn't look like standard hardware to me due to the chamfered edge.

Yes, a washer - in the true sense of the word - has a different shape than the chamfered version shown in my foto, which is standard hardware on the vast majority of Guild Pilot basses...I just don't know what the actual proper word for this particular part is, so I can only refer to it as a "washer"...

I was also under the impression that this chamfered part was a Guild-designed and produced part, used on at least the Pilots but another Guild expert I know felt that it was not and that it was likely a Grover part, so on this moment I'm just fishing to see what happens...😊

My standard big hardware supplier has nothing like this for sale.
I would suggest contacting Grover as that color sure looks like the same plating on the tuners.
