I have made up custom O-rings with a kit such as you describe, The O-ring was a 50cm diameter, 15mm X-section silicon ring for one of the fermentors I work with. Obviously such a sized O-ring is not a common stock item, It was a matter of careful cutting then gluing. I would imagine it would be very tricky without some sort of jig to make smallish rings. Finding a source of metric O-rings (silicon or butyl) is not always easy. Alistair "Look Ma, no HTML!" -- '82 Westy -> diesel converted to gas in '94 albell@uvic.ca http://members.shaw.ca/albell
