[modeleng] Re: O rings

Hi All,

The O Rings which I have normally seen at ME Dealers, described as Silicone 
are white and even look fragile.

When I need O rings I have found quite a few manufacturers on the Internet 
who are quite happy to supply from their lists with a minimum order of only 
about £10. It is usually far cheaper to buy too many and have some in stock 
for the future than to pay the silly one off prices that the dealers want.

Regards

Clif
