Quoted: hello. you dont need the vinton high temp o-ring. just use the standard #60 o-ring you buy at any hardware store. this is all i use and have yet to wear one out. i pay 33 cents each compared to the 12.00 for a vinton. kirk |
Bad advice. The Viton O-rings do not swell when exposed to hydrocarbons, such as trhe grease used in the mount and have a higher temperature rating than the neoprene O-rings available at the hardware store. Using the neoprene ones will lead to a LOT of problems.
You can get the correct size Viton O-rings at any place that sells hydraulic couplers or cylinders, McMaster-Carr, etc. We also have them available from Gemtech. Cost at the hydraulics store usually runs about 60 or 70 cents each, but you may run into a minimum order or minimum cash ticket. I think we ask a couple of dollars for the pair, which includes postage.
