    Size of Vanos piston cap O-rings?

    Anyone know the size of these particular o-rings? If not, anyone know where I can buy just the piston cap o-rings? I have a small leak on one of them. Thanks.

    They’re part of the Beisan seal kit.

      I understand this...question still stands on actual size of the o-ring pictured here.

        I think the implication is that you can email Raj @ Beisan and see if he will tell you and/or buy just those o-rings from him.

          Point being, even these guys like Beisan and Dr. Vanos are sourcing them from somewhere...probably for pennies on the dollar. Not trying to spend $20+ for a couple of $2 o-rings if there are other options. I suppose I can just remove my current o-rings and take some measurements, but was hoping to avoid that.

            They almost certainly slightly exotic, e.g. vitron.

              Even if you find a supplier like McMaster or similar the MOQ is going to kill any potential savings.

              Unless you plan on reselling kits yourself raj is probably the most economical source.
