Replace dist. washers with different material?

I was stripping my distributor down and one of the fiber washers all but disintegrated in my hand. I need to get a replacement. I'm pretty sure I can't buy them anywhere, but if you have a source please shout it out.

So I looked all over for Phenolic Washers and didn't find squat that was even close to the dims. I'm wondering if I can replace it with a nylon or Teflon instead as I can buy one that is close in dims and drill it out as needed.

Ideas?

the dims are:
OD: ~20.8mm
ID: ~12.8mm
Thickness: ~0.84mm

I believe I can sub a washer that is near that thickness as long as I have some play on the shaft.

Best regards,

Michael
