Hi y'all, been off for a while as summer came, classes I'm taking got tough, and I got busy with other stuff.

Anyway, I should know this, but I have an O-ring I need to replace on the rsterne Double Disco 9, and I can't rmember what the best material is?
Thanks!

cheers,
Rob

I echo what Bob has said. I've had good luck with Buna

But.....for those inquiring minds out there.

In my experience this is a well developed treatise on the subject from Haaavard (say it like a bostonian) Laughing

In college we had one house with a Bostonian and three midwesterners. The Bostonian asked if the others wanted to go with her to a paaa-ty (party). They all wondered what kind of sicko needed company to go potty.
Anyway, back to spearing shaaacks in the haaabor.
