    Rubber Rings for Instrument gauges Series 3

    Hi All

    I stripped the instrument gauges and the rubber rings between the glass and instrument rings fell apart ........ do you know if I can get these anywhere ?

    Thanks

    Craig,

    I dont think you will be able to buy them.
    I suggest you make your own out of cardboard or thin gasket material which your can get from auto parts shops

    Look for suitable sized O rings. A hydraulic supplier/repair shop would be the place to go.
    But a neatly cut cardboard or plastic one is WAY cheaper !

    O-rings from your nearest bearing shop or hydraulic supplier.

    I carefully split some spare electrical wire so I could use the insulation as a seal. Maybe not as pliable as an o'ring but cheap, and it left me with some copper wire to use as a port-cleaner for carbies etc.

    you can buy the rubber for the gaskets by the meter, you can cut it to length and glue it up... we do it all the time at work for those odd sized gaskets... you can use super glue, but a silicone rubber glue is best
