where to get metric O-rings

Ive used Cycle orings.com too, excellent quality. He has CV & VM carb o-rings

you can also go to many places that sell hydraulic hose and fittings. many of them have metric o-rings

Harbor Freight is where i got mine. They have a two diffrent sets at the store here. About 10 bucks.

just wondering were these metric o- ring kits viton o- rings? i would love to buy a hugh kit and be able to match them up like i do o-rings for cars.

Ive been a hydraulic tech for about 25 yrs any place that services hydraulic eqipment will have them on hand cheap

I'd stay away from those "kits" since most of the O-rings will go unused and the others are unlikely to properly fit, although people will be tempted to stuff/stretch/smash them in anyway.

McMaster-Carr sells O-rings in a multitude of different sizes and diameters, and based on my experience with building my own O-ring kits, you need a wide range of different thicknesses and sizes to properly cover all the applications. For example, you may need a metric O-ring that's 1.0 mm wide for the fuel tubes but the closest size to match the O-ring for the pilot fuel screw may be an English dash number O-ring. Mix and match is the proper way to get the sizes you need, and you won't find these sizes with some cheap Chinese O-ring kit from HF.

i don't believe no one has said to call z1enterprises yet.
i bought every part i needed for my smoothbores from jeff.
just because it's not on the websight does not mean he don't have it.
sometimes you just need to call and talk to a live person.

Hey Ed, surprised to see you over here..didn't know you owned a KZ.

I also have a big kit from Harbor Freight. It has come in extremely handy for lots of applications. I always have a proper sized ring neatly organized.
