“O” Rings on my 69 PP

Post by Bud Harger »

For the first time in my life, an “O” Ring popped off a swivel on my 69 PP. Of course, it’s gone!

What size “O” Ring do I need? I’ll have to buy the pliers too, I suppose.

Help!

I think you need a C clip-lock ring. Not sure what size. Emmons guitar, Billy Knowels and most any of the P/p gurus can fix you up. As I remember, they were originally used in carburetor linkage.Might find them at your local auto parts store. If you learn what size to ask for.Should not be a big problem. b.

If it's the retaining ring you need, these are the correct size: https://www.mcmaster.com/97633A130/, 0.23" inner diameter, 0.029" thickness. As Bobby suggested, you may be able to find some locally in smaller quantities
