(Panasonic) Cut washer spec, source?

I've got some cut washers that need replacing. I'm thinking it can't be all THAT rare of a part.

Does anybody know the specs on this and/or a source?

I know:

it isn't normal steel - doesn't get attracted by a magnet
Looks like O.D. 5.5mm, I.D. 2mm, and very thin

Tweak, w/ more careful measurement: 5mm OD, 2mm ID, approx 1/2mm thick. Need to find a micrometer to get a more accurate reading...

And... the OEM Panasonic part number is VMX2208

SOLVED, at least for now!e-clips are an equivalent external retaining ring. I needed 2mm eClips.
Yes, can be bought as part of a big kit for US$10 on Amazon.

But I found a very quick solution: our local RC Hobby store stocks the Traxxas #1633 eClip/Cring kit. It contains more than two dozen eClips that appear to work in at least most positions requiring a split-ring retainer. US$2 for the kit.
