plain old washer and thrust washer are significantly different. most thrust washers are porous and impregnated with lubricating substance... also a thrust washer is load/velocity rated, and machined to a higher tolerance. plain old washers are just stamped....
the only critical measurement is 22.1mm i.d. - o.d. can be 42-45, and thickness can be 1.5 to 2mm..
if you convert all this to inches, you will find a .75"x1.75"x.0625" thrust washer will work almost perfect - you would just need to bore the i.d from .75 to 22.1mm
this thrust washer is probably $1 at mcmaster.com
any machinist could bore a 22.1mm hole for a few dollars..
it's harder to machine the original thrust washer down to 1.5mm - the magnetic chuck doesn't work well with this material for some reason. it wanted to keep moving, and i wasn't gonna build a fixture for that little washer...
