Do "chain" autoparts stores carry copper crush washers for brake work?
Will be installing fresh calipers here soon... have Goodrige SS lines w/ AN fittings and will need some fresh crush washers for the fitting that screws into the caliper.
Do the "normal" stores carry them, or is there a good source to get a few?

Everyone I have been to does, but they might have to take it from a caliper box so it might depend on the person behind the counter.

If the are solid all you have to do is get them red hot with your little propane tourch and throw them in cold water ... just like new.
That is how we do the aircraft plug washers.

As others have mentioned might find them at the local parts store. If you can find a real parts store still in business that's the best option or else you have to deal with "what year car, what engine, what color..." instead of them knowing how to determine what you need and where the parts are.
Another option is the local HW store however as with parts stores it's best to find a real HW store not Lowes or HD. I found washers coper washers at the local HW store when I couldn't find them elsewhere.

they all carry them, and you are smart to not try and re-use them. Sometimes you can get away with it, but the concentric circles stamped into the OEM lines make re-use difficult
