Help tracking down o-rings
Hey there my fellow community members.
I'm trying to source about 200 o-rings. Yes, this is geocaching related.
Internal dimensions are 5/16th or 8mm.
External dimensions are 7/16th or 11mm.
The "dash number" for those who know what o-rings are all about is -011
I'm trying to find them for about $0.10 each (including GST and delivery) which I appreciate is a challenge.
Can a few people try their Google-fu and see if they can come up with something. The best I can do is $0.15 from this mob.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Help tracking down o-rings
Most automotive shops will sell these. Not that I've looked at the actual size you want or know what they charge for them.

They don't quote a shipping price, even after you register. So it could be anything from $0.00 to $100.00
I don't want to play that game.
Great price though.

1. Wholesale Only.
W.W. Grainger, Inc. (“Grainger”) sells products for business-to-business use to customers with proper business identification, which is required from all customers prior to purchase.
That's why they're so cheap.

Re: Help tracking down o-rings
Maybe
I'm trying to source some more nano caches (stay away Freddo) for the GCA shop.
We got some last time with an o-ring, but I can't find any a decent price that come with o-rings.
So I thought if I can get some at a few cents each, I can add the o-ring and then you get a nano that should keep water out.
Failing finding them at a decent price, we might just forgo the o-ring or stop carrying nano caches.

PM sent. I'm amazed at how coherent I was at 1am and half asleep. I thought I'd written total gibberish and kept waking in a fright because of it.

Re: Help tracking down o-rings
I did track some special ones down a few years ago for work from a shop near Artarmon. Now to see if I can remember where it was and refind it.

Re: Help tracking down o-rings
Have you tried your local bearing suppler ( SKF, BCB) or hydraulics specialist or try the importer direct with that quantity you may get trade price.

I will also find out what price I can get them for.
