Default more supercharger questions?! You betcha!

I've got everything cleaned up and ready to go back in the car (1999 XJR) and noticed the workshop manual tells me to replace the rubber seals on the 4 bolts securing the outlet (I'd call it a cover) for the SC.
I found the square seal the seals the outlet to the SC but can't find the bolt seals.
Does anyone know the part number for these?

I think they are the same for the CAM COVERS (isolators) but it has been a few years since I sourced the parts.

Where are the rubber seals? The only thing I remember is not replacing them.

Edit: I went out and looked, they're between the top flange and body of the outlet plate; still never replaced them and they're working fine after 24 years.

Me three! Seemed like they were fine to reuse?

Just like the cam covers, the isolators provide the 'clamping-force' to the cover. When the rubber gets compressed, the machine screw/flange assy does not press down as hard.
