O-rings
Having, hopefully, fixed my shower unit using O-rings I already had, where
would I have had to go to get an O-ring of a specific size and thickness? -- Jim S |

Lidaldi when they have their kits of metric or imperial O rings in stock. Also ebay, TS, SF? But these sets often only have one chord diameter, so that while you can find the right "OD", sometimes the ring itself isn't quite thick enough. |

The lidaldi "Workzone" sets have 1.8, 2.65 and 3.55 mm and 1/16, 3/32 ans 1/8" cord diameters. So that's a choice of six cords across both sets, the actual ring diameter is probably less critical. -- Cheers Dave. |

Ah, right; I must look out for them, very useful to know. |

There are several who stock a vast range. However, if it's like my Aqualisa, new O rings didn't fix the dripping. ;-) Had to buy a new cartridge at considerable cost. -- *I'm planning to be spontaneous tomorrow * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
