I ready many thread, but none seem to mention the exact sizes needed. From what I have read there are three. One person used these sizes as the closest match possible:

3/32" cs - 2 1/8" ID
1/16" cs - 2 1/2" ID
3/32" cs - 2 1/2" ID

But those are in inches. I was wondering if anyone had the measurements in metric. If not the above will probably work. But I would like to get metric if I can find a shop that happens to have them.

Also does anyone recommend a type/brand to buy or should I consult the supplier? I would assume something oil and heat resistant.

I picked up the above sizes. The are Vinton, so they should be best for heat and petroleum interaction.

But I had to buy 10 of each! So when I am done and find out how good a fit these are (or not) I will keep a set and make available some kits with directions for those that can not source them or, like me, can only buy in larger quantities.

I had planned on doing it tonight but might be going to an x-mas related event. And Saturday will be warmer, so I will work on this then when I also do my own alignment. I plan to also take some pics to post and for directions with kits.
