I need 2 O Rings that seal between the shower cartridge and the brass body.
A kit will cost about £18 and contain things for later models that I can't
even make use of. Hoping to buy a couple of suitable sized o rings - what
material should I be getting to cope with water and the temperatures?

Aldi, Lidl, CPC, and other places often have O-ring kits with lots of
different sizes for a few quid.

I have gone into Plumb Center and asked for a couple and they just gave
them to me.

The material does not matter at the temperatures found on a shower. They
only become significant with superheated steam when viton should be used.
