Saw a fuel stain on the belly of the RV-6 today. After investigating, it
turns out that the carb bowl is loose and I need to replace the gasket
between the bowl and the body of the carb.

The problem is that my local source - Aircraft Spruce, only has the
gasket. They don't have the little bent-tab washers that are required to
safety the bolts holding the carb bowl. With only 3 working days until I
head to Osh, I need some suggestions on a source for those washers.

How about an alternate method of safetying the bolts, such as drilling the
heads and safety wire? Is that not completely allowable, (and of course
safe)especially for a homebuilt?
