262 cruciform manifold washers needed!!

Anyone have or know where I can get them. The previous owner had used flat washers in place of about four of them and now that I have everything off, I'd like to have them all the same.
Anyone?
Thanks

If Kenny doesn't come up with any, let me know.

If there are only eight, I may be wrong and have enough. I'm not near car now, I will check tomorrow and get back.

Thanks for your thorough responses.

Well I have eight so I guess I'm ok
If six go across the top, where do the other two go? At two/one and six/five underneath? I assume all bolts get lock washers as well.
Thanks for the help!

As a new Hudson owner there are some tips that come from experience or by a chance read of a post like I am about to make.   

The intake and exhaust manifolds are both made of cast iron and separate pieces. Intuition may lead you to believe that assembly of the two pieces and then adding them to the engine is the right process.  Indeed this is a method that can be followed.  But note the two ears on the exhaust manifold which will allow you to connect the exhaust manifold to the engine block ( without tightening completely) and the exhaust pipe.  A second step is installing the intake manifold on to the studs of the exhaust manifold.   Of course the proper gaskets need to be in place.  

OR you can assemble them together and install as a unit.  The POINT OF this explanation is: Leave the bolts that connect the intake and exhaust manifolds loose while installing the manifolds to the engine block.   Draw up the manifolds to the engine block and when you have finished tighten the nuts on the ends of the bolts that connect the two manifolds.  If you do this any other way you risk the exhaust manifold cracking soon after the initial engine runs post manifold installation.  The goal is to not place unnecessary pressures on the manifolds to low the chance of manifold cracking.

Yep, I get it. Thanks Fellas
