[QUOTE="ogrilp400, post: 35498, member: 88"] O-rings are out there to those dimensions. The problem is that the depth of the groove is too great and it allows the o-ring to float up and down, not sealing properly. You need to machine up a small thin washer either from aluminium or delrin plastic. It needs to be approximately .015" to .020" thick (from memory), with just enough extra thou crush on the o-ring and stop it floating. [/QUOTE]
