Thru-axle washer needed

I've seen the other posts regarding this, but thought I'd ask again. Is there any way to get the thru axle washer without buying the entire thru axle? I went on the Cervelo site and they don't show the washer being for sale. I used the "contact us" link. Wondering if other bikes use the same or similar sized washer. If it matters, this is for my Aspero.

Need SPD advice coming from Speedplay/Wahoo

I've been using Speedplay pedals on my road bike (Cervelo R3) since they were first released. I love/need the float...at least I think I do.

Recently purchased a Cervelo Aspero gravel bike and want to get gravel/mountain pedals, cleats and shoes and the Shimano SPD's seem like a good choice.

Looking for advice on the float issue. My latest Speedplays have 15º float. I see I can get up to 6º float on other cleat/pedal combinations. Do I even know I use a lot of float while cycling? How do I find out if 6º is sufficient?

Do pedals/cleats have a "centering" feature that one needs to "fight" continuously? Do some not have that centering feature? Is the centering feature not really anything to be concerned about? I'm a bit pigeon toed on one leg. Can the pedal be adjusted a bit to allow for that and then let the cleat float take care of the rest?

So many question for sure. Looking for advice from folks that have resolved this themselves.

Not interested in hearing "get a professional bike fit".
