Question about silicon O-rings...

[TxTroubleMaker]

Other than buying these online, what type of local supplier would stock these??? I'm looking for sizes that the shoppe doesn't stock and the places that I've found online have a minimum order of a 100 pieces. I've called a couple of local plumbing suppliers but they don't carry silicon o-rings. Any one have any ideas??? I guess if it comes down to it, I'll just order them online...:thumbsdow

What kinda light you using these on?

I think silicone is a bit too gummy for lights... the rings tear when you twist on/twist off the tail caps, bezels, etc.

Most of the mass-produced lights use buna rings... I have a ton of these, if you can give me the sizes you need PM me your mailing addy and they're yours gratis.

I buy my silicone ( red ) O rings from a local supplier that sells seals used in the hydraulic industry. Check you local Yellow Pages for seals and bearings.

I wanted to replace the head to body o-rings on my HD45, they are size -#18 and I need to replace the window seal o-ring on my 27LT-S to a -#24. The window rattles a little bit when I have my Ti mofo bezel on it, which is why I need to step up to a -#24 o-ring. I appreciate the offer, I'll PM my address to you, thanks!
