Early diesel radiator temperature switch seal

Can anyone please tell me if the seals for the temperature switch/sensors are available off the shelf?
I have the early diesel radiator with 2 sensors.
Had my radiator refurbished and the switches were only a year old so reused them. However, it is leaking slightly from one of the switches and I think needs a new seal.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers, Jon.

You can use 22 x 29mm fibre washers available in plumbers merchants.

I'm struggling to find the correct size fibre washer; local merchants don't have one.
Brickwerks don't do them, but say VW used to sell them at £2.50 a pop.
Can anyone please point me in the direction of the original seal from VW? Where do I find this part number?
Thank you.
