Rick, these seals are available from Germany directly.  I thought I had one
on the shelf but I guess I am currently out.  You can buy reseal kits
010398007B.
I believe they come with the o-rings you have been searching for plus some
other seals you are going to need before everything is said and done.  I
have them available for immediately shipment if you want to order it.  The
alternative is waiting at least two weeks for one seal to come from Germany.
Let me know if I can help you out.
