Title: Looking for an o-ring
Post by: NorDog on August 02, 2011, 10:16:26 AM
Anyone know where in the LA area I should go to seach for an o-ring?

I have a DP steering damper and the swivel clamp that hold the damper body has an o-ring that functions to firm up the swivel.  My o-ring went bad, and now the damper body flops around a bit when the front end is turned from side to side.

Went to NAPA auto parts and found a close match, but close wasn't close enough.

Who's got a great selecton of o-rings I can search through?

Thanks,
Norris

If you want to try online, go to McMaster-Carr.com.  Carefully measure your o-ring and you should be able to order a match from them.

I scored a bunch of fasteners, o- rings and what-not with matching fastener drawers  (Griots Garage stuff) from a friend who no longer wanted/needed them...

Lemme know what size and i'll see if I have it

PM or email me

Thanks lawbreaker.

I'll need something like calipers to measure the darn thing.

I think I found what I need at Home Depot.  I'll try it out tonight.

Yeah, the Home Depot o-ring worked fine.

Lawbreaker, thanks for the offer.  If you don't mind, I'll keep you in mind if something comes up in the future.

Harbor Freight sells o-ring kits which are great to have around, inch and metric versions.

Very useful to have around
