Default Lug nut tapered washer

'87 xj6 w/pepper pot wheels. Mine has the two piece, chrome cover lug nuts. Does anyone have a source for the tapered metal washer that fits inside the lug nut? SNG has a nylon one on their website but apparently it is no longer available.

I think those are machine-pressed or something like that ? i.e., the lugnut gets manufactured with the washer ?
At least in the ones I have seen and in my 1984 you can't remove the washer, it is captive.

Yes, on my good lug nuts the washer seems to be crimped in there. I have six "spare" lug nuts with either broken or missing washers and was hoping to fix them on the cheap. I just don't like to have otherwise usable parts that it should only take a buck or two to fix. I just finished a complete rear brakes rebuild that has taken months with life, weather, work and waiting for parts getting in the way and also my first time dropping the IRS. I also steam cleaned the IRS and POR'd it.
