Like mentioned above, Autozone does sell copper washers that will work. They are not to thick, at least the ones I am thinking of.

Where did I say anything about brake banjo bolt washers? Are you into not making it work? Autozone, and others, offers more than just banjo bolt washers if you havn't been down there. Like I said above, they do offer copper crush sealing washers for oil drain bolts and what not, example #640990, as well as a 110 Piece kit #68117. If your so OCD then go to the dealer and get the a new sensor, or just buy a new AC Delco coolant temp sensor from amazon for $12.00 which comes with the washer. GM does not offer just the washer by itself, at least for the coolant temp sensor.

A copper washer is just that. If it fits and does the job correctly, who cares what it's called? OCD is either worked with or around; don't use it as an excuse for lack of common sense.

The only thing common about common sense is that it is very uncommon...
