Shower Handle flat washer replacment

Folks,
Been to Lowes, Home Depot and Ace.
I need some held finding a replacement washer for a shower door handle.
The OEM washer has become brittle and fallen out due to the hard water.
At this point a nylon replacement is fine, but seems like a silicone washer would be ideal.
The washer must be "clear" not black, nylon, plastic silicon, neoprene? something that withstand water and is not considered thick. This washer is flat.







The Outside diameter is is about 3/4" or smaller at 18.5 mm.
The ID is about 1/4"

Can anyone help me find a clear washer, will hold up to water and fits these OD and ID measurements?
Photos attached

Stand off cap assembly 1/4" Washer - shower handle

Stand off cap assembly 3/4" Washer - shower handle
I started this thread looking for this washer for my shower handle. I am finding more and more folks on other sites talking about the same issues. This shower handle wobble, replacement washer is niche, but a common issue folks are looking into.
Here is a helpful link I found for that common clear washer that "can not" be found at HomeDepot, Lowes, Ace or many hardware stores. My only concern is that if this is indeed a common issue, instead of replacing this every few years is there a solution with more longevity?
At this time I don't have that answer to a better solution, but what I do have is the replacement part for the 1/4" stand off cap assembly replacement washer for shower door handles.
Color-Clear, OD 3/4", ID 1/2", flat Vinyl.
These are expensive at about 9$ for 10 washers, which does includes tax and shipping.
NJ based McMaster.com will ship these for about $13-$14, so the shipping is the most expensive part in finding these. Good Luck to you and if you ever find a better solution please do tell.

A hole saw, a piece of clear vinyl, a 1/4" leather punch. I could make 25 of these in an hour for a dollar!
