I bought a SS conical fermenter from brewbuilder a few years ago and this has given me excellent service.
I chose to have a racking arm with this and this comes with a pair of non-coloured O rings (I think they are silicone rubber) which are quite soft (low Shore hardness rating). They degrade over time and eventually become useless.
A friendly HBer has the same fermenter and managed to source some similar O rings, but they're not quite the same size and a a bit a b*stard to get in place.
I also contacted Lardy at Brew Builder and he kindly sent me a couple of spares, but I am now down to but a single O ring where there should be two!
I've emailed Lardy again asking where he sources these from as I'd like to buy a couple of dozen so they can be regularly replaced, but I've not had a reply as yet.
So the question for the Hive Mind is "does anyone know where I might source some suitable O rings?"
I don't mind buying a load because I'd be amazed if there's not a bunch of folk out there with the same problem who'd happily take some of them off my hands!
TIA

Re: Brew Builder conical racking arm O rings
You could try these people, I used to use them for cup seals and o rings when I was in business. They have a hell of a range and used to be very helpful.
