Source for Teflon Washer Replacements for Chugger Pumps?

I cut a small thrust washer (0.25” ID, 0.5” OD) from a plastic coffee can lid and it has been working like a champ for two brew sessions. I canceled my Amazon order.

Not totally sure the plastic in a coffee can lid was meant to take the heat produced by the spinning impeller.

My thrust washers have lasted 5 years, but starting to look sad.

Has anyone found a better solution to this?

I would rather order from a homebrew shop than amazon, and brewhardware.com is out of stock

Works fine. Three brew sessions. There is no heat from the spinning impeller. The wort/beer is up to 200 deg F but there is no other heat source of significance.
