Nanglebadger Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Folks of UKSO, I am in need of some assistance. A couple of years back I bought a GReddy/Grex oil filter relocation kit from SiCaln. Sadly, it is missing one of the rubber o-rings from the end of one of the pipe sections. I have taken the remaining o-ring in to the engineering department in work, who measured it with a calibrated vernier. 4 different multi packs of various sizes were checked for matches and in the end we ordered up what we thought was a close as humanly possible to purchase. sadly however, upon test fitting the new o-rings this past weekend, the closest replacement we could get doesn't fit. Or even come close. So, my question to all of you is, does anyone know if service kits can be bought for these relocator kits, or where on God's green earth I might find new o-rings for this chuffing thing!?!?!?!?!?!?! Mr Bower has gone to great lengths to locate the necessary adapters to get this thing fitted, but without rubber o-rings of the right size, the kit is no use to man nor beast. All help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I will see what I can do when I go back to work at the weekend, I have the same filter housing for mine and that needs some too, I have a feeling the ones we have at work will do the job nice just never checked! drop me a pm on Sat evening or I will forget lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezza Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 You may have already exhausted suppliers in the UK. If you have the dimensions, you might be able to find the correct one here and get a free sample or three to try. http://www.componentforce.co.uk/category/691/o-rings As an alternative, could you not use a silicone sealer that won't perish with oil?

Nanglebadger Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 @Rob - thanks for that dude, I will try to remember to drop u a PM! Gents - thanks for the guidance there. Those multipacks are on ebay too, I just wasnt sure about ordering anything given the various kits in work didnt offer up a solution. Silicone - or sump sealer - may be a viable option i guess, thanks Jezza! Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Have you got any photos of the part that needs the o-ring? I spotted in work a load of Mazda O-rings for various models, lets face it if size is going to be odd, it going to be Mazda. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
