Hi Ian

The do turn up fairy regularly, new, on e-bay as "buy-it-now" items so I would assume they're still available

Try Spyder Engineering. They may offer stainless replacements.

What wheels do you have? Brand Lotus? I bought Miniltes some time ago and they came with carbon steel thrust washers which rust easily. I bought a second set of Minilites more recently and they came with stainless thrust washers. You might want to call Minilite and see if their thrust washers have the same dimensions as the ones used with Brand Lotus wheels. Spyder is an alternate but I suspect they buy their components from Minilite.
