O-ring source?
 
Does anyone have a clever idea for local sources of really tiny o-rings? I have tried Home Depot faucet repair and the smallest size is way too big. The o-ring on my Rossi 60 needle valve is shot and I can't seem to match it up. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

harbor freight has a kit with many orings. Not sure if they are fuel/alcohol proof tho. Do a search that their website.

I've found some at a local plumbing supply place. You might find one in the yellow pages? Morris Hobbies?

I have good luck at local implement dealers (John Deere & Case- IHC) They usually have a good selection . Our fuel don't bother most "O" rings. MAX H.

Get the buna-n or viton ( more expensive) types. They are compatible with glow fuel.

I've gotten them at the local hardware just up the street.

Places like Boca Bearings sell them too but you'd need to buy a whole assorment to make it worthwhile.

Enjoy,

Thanks everyone .... I'll give them all a try. The problem so far has been this o-ring is actually the thinnist I've ever seen. It is much smaller than a #60 which is 1/8 id X 1/4 od. The original looks to be about 3/32 X 1/8. In other words, the wall thickness is only about 1/32. My temporary solution has been to use a very small diameter (5/32 od) fuel tubing and slice a circle (takes a few tries) off the end.
