Just measure the thickness with calipers. On some motors, they're not just "washers" of average thickness. I know little about your motor/year, but double check this point.

they did seem to be a little thicker than your average washer. I will probably just take them to Fastenal and have them duplicate  them for all 12 holes

The head washers are hardened steel, just make sure you get these when you get new ones.  If you use standard washers, the bolts can work loose. ;D
