Are they really worth 75p a washer?
There must be others on eBay or somewhere that are the same.
Maybe I'm being tight.

The last time I put some foxes back together, I couldn't screw the nut back onto one of the legs properly. Swapped the crush washer for a new one and it went back fine. Couldn't visually see any difference between the two but I figure the old one was deformed somehow.
edit: the other "old" one worked fine.Posted 4 months ago # -

I once used a pair of O-rings (of compatible diameter). They worked fine.

they only really get damaged when you remove them incorrectly, there is very slight deformation when they are originally installed and the nuts are torqued up, but not enough to compromise their function
because the bottom of the rods are threaded, if you spin the washers off the thread, you can re-use them once the fork has been serviced
occasionally you won't be able to spin them off, and may need to use pliers to pry them off, which can damage them, requiring fresh crush washers from Mojo
anytime I buy anything from Mojo I always order a bag of crush washers so I have spares
