Ron Weasley 83 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 also i have heard ot to buy bits like that off of evil bay as they are not great? Michael Tawn airgun supplies sells them on ebay I believe - he won't sell you anything but good stuff, so you'll be safe with them. Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Find out what size they are, and then pop to your local plumbers merchant. You'll pay maximum 30p an O-ring, instead of the £13 for three or four that some people are charging. You need to find out outer diameter (OD) or internal diameter (ID) and ring thickness. I have loads lying round, if you can find the dimensions I'll stick a couple in the post if I have them. Don't over-tighten the fitting, as this can cause the ring to pinch and fail early. If it's properly designed then finger tight should be sufficient, though I would recommend giving it a 1/4 turn past that to be sure, but don't apply a lot of force! Quote Link to post
rascal_2005 79 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 thank you bud, if i measure the inside and outside would the differance be the thickness? Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Yup, but you'll need to do it with a new ring, as one that's failed won't be the same size. I'm trying to see if I can find the dimensions on line, but they're not telling. Quote Link to post
