      I find small o-rings at the hardware store in the plumbing section.
      Used in faucet repairs.

      Also, anything you want can be found here.

      -------------------------
      This past year, I have started using bellows for my push rod seals.
      I have far less issues.
      Less maintenance. (no greasing required)

      Reason for the change.
      This past year I bought and assembled an Engel's Akula II that uses bellows.
      Simple and reliable comes to mind.

      I build my own cylinders and end caps require drilling and making a shoulder for the o-rings and shaft cup seals.
      The bellows requires making tube fittings for the bellows and drilling a simple straight hole in the end cap.


      My Skipjack after modifying for bellows.

              They don't ship to Canada?

              Their web site says "world wide shipping" by mail or FexEx.
              I did not find any exclusions by country.

              But I did not ask when I contacted them for 3" and 1/8" o-rings.
              My order was mailed to me through the post office.

              Try the hardware stores for the small o-rings.
              I found them in little plastic packages hanging on the wall.

              You can also try the automotive stores.
              They have some small o-rings.
              Mostly for injectors and carburetors.

                      I have bought lots of them on Amazon, come in bags of 10, 25, 50, tons of sizes, fairly cheap. I went for the Viton material, appear to last a long time. I use them in the boats, plus in steam engines.

                          Hello

                          Please excuse me for entering your post. After I read your posting about the O ring store, I sent them an email and just got their reply:

                          " melissa@theoringstore.com

                          We do ship to Canada"

                          Hope that helps you.
                          George
