3 mm id o-ring
« on: October 01, 2019, 03:44:42 PM »
Does anyone know where to get a 3 mm id o-ring?
2014 BV 350  "IndiGO" (fast, strong and tireless)
2006 Honda Rebel 250  "Snow Leopard" (stealthy, agile and durable)
2018 Lance Cali Classic 200i  "Black Panther" (smooth, nimble, quiet and quick)
2016 Wolf V-50 (sold)

Wanted a Kymco, ended up w a Lance, but that forum is inactive, so I am here

Don't know where you are located but Ace Hardware stores usually have a good supply of various o rings. Basically most well stocked hardware store should help, or most automotive stores for that matter. You should take the one you are replacing with you to make sure both the id and od are the same

Purchased them on line from sites who specialize in them.
Bought several for a few different scooters.
google search the sellers.

google search the sellers.

There's important differences in o-rings when installing in gas engines. This kind of search might not yield useful information - go direct to experts such as these folks: https://www.fst.com/news/2015-fst-new-o-ring-configurator

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies dealers in almost every city in the world.

The sellers nearly always indicate how/where/what the o ring is suited for.
Easy prices, too.

I could not find anyone selling just the o-ring  (you can get one in a carb rebuild kit, which I don't need).
But did find one from a member of another forum, so problem solved.

Thanks everyone for your input!

No need to despair, Freudenberg dealers (they're everywhere all over the world) will sell you one o-ring if that's all you need.

I checked.
Indiana and Canada are to far to go for a $.35 o ring.
I'll have one sent to my mailbox from an industrial supply house.

You're right!  I thought for sure there'd be outlets all over the USA, it being an advanced modern country and all that!  I can't imagine living somewhere without a good o-ring dealer close by!
