I will soon be installing the differential back into the housing. It's a '67 8" rear. There were copper washers under the nuts on the 5 lower studs. They are pretty beat. Where, besides Ford can I find these copper washers? I've been to a couple of auto parts stores, hardware stores, and Tractor Supply with no luck.

Any of the Mustang parts suppliers have them.

You can also use brake line washers to replace these.

I never used them, just silicone on the gasket.

I had lost a couple of them when i changed the gears in mine and found out that it WILL leak if you don't use either the washers or silicone.

you don't need the washers, use a little RTV around the studs, you'll be fine

OK, thanks. I did put some Permatex #2 around the studs before I nutted it all down. I still may get the correct washers and do one at a time just to be sure I get no leaks.
