    Anybody know any online places where I can get o-rings from?
    Preferably UK or Europe, I don't want none of them there Merkin sizes.
    Google is not my friend and www.grommets.co.uk don't seem to have small
    sizes (6 or 7mm)
    TIA.

    How many do you need? I've got some "in stock".

    I need (4x) 7mm ID x 1.5mm and
    <fx: counts fingers>
    (about 16x) 6mm ID x 1.5mm
    Nitrile ones, to go in carbs.

    Top tip: When cleaning your carbs in the ultrasonic cleaner at work, don't
    put any o-rings in it...
    They were pretty well fucked anyway.

    Ah. Mine are of unknown provenance, so I have no real clue what they're
    made from.

    I think standard ones are nitrile.
    I've got a nice box full of o-rings, but none of them are 1.5mm. Shame
    really, Yamaha want about 2 euros EACH.
    I'll have a word with the guy at the office who orders things...

    I've just checked and my 6mm ones are 1.8 (ish), and the 7mm ones about
    1.9. Irritatingly I have lots of 8mm x 1.5 ones...
    Gack!

    Thanks Cane, I've sent them an email, but I suspect they only deal with
    companies.

    IIRC they'll deal with anyone... even you.

  12. This is the place that I sourced the o-rings to rebuild the ABS on my
    FJ12. A very help full bunch of people.
