I, once again, completely forgot to order a drain plug gasket. Anyone got one?

I'd flip the one I got but I already flipped it last time (because I forgot to order gasket).

I'd hate to chance it again and have a leak develop.

Default I've replaced mine like twice and it has never leaked at any point. You could heat it
with a torch provided it's a copper ring like I use and toss it back on.

Forgot I don't live 200 miles from a dealer anymore! Might just do that.

K&K/hardware store FTW. For what the dealer would charge for one, I bet you could get four there
