Replacement O - Rings

I'm looking for replacement O Rings for my clemens wrapper. Renzetti has them for $2.00 each which is high enough, but they have a weight listed as 2.00 pounds which comes to $13 + for shipping just 1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I was told o-rings.com a while back. I never looked into it. It would be nice for someoen I know to place a large order, say for 100 rings, and we can split the cost.

That might be Piano wire, but dont' quote me. I dont' use mine and gave it away a long time ago.

I do not know what wears teh o-rings out. When I lived in my parents house, I went through them quick. I haven't changed but 4 or 5 in the 6 years I've been in my current shop, adn I do a HECK of a lot more turning. I do get soe sunlight in the AM too.

Don't know if they have the right size, but I have picked up O-rings for my Renzetti vice and a home made hand wrapper @ True Value hardware store. Might even try Ace

Take one to your local plumbing supply house. They usually have large selections for repairing faucets. Pretty cheap compared to other places, at least around here anyway.

If you have a Miller bearing store in your area, just take the old ring to them and they will match it up for you. I needed an(O)ring for my Rod Smith and I bought a bag I think it was about $5.00 and change.That was the way they came.That was about three years ago.

A good auto parts store or a good farm implement shop should have a wide selection of O-Rings to choose from.

I made O-rings for my rod wrapper by going to the auto parts store
and asking for O ring rubber material. Just buy the right diameter.
cut to length, put a drop of super glue on one end an hold together
for a minute or so and you'll have your o-ring! Incidentally, the o-rings
I made for the wrapper are going on three years now without a flaw.
Can't get any cheaper than that!!

If given the choice, go with viton vs. buna-n, I've found that the buna o-rings don't last nearly as long.
