Seal Ring Sources/Alternatives
In earlier times, the dealer always had the metal banjo fitting seal rings (crush washers) in stock and they cost only a few cents. Now, they are over a dollar apiece, and the dealer has to special order them!!! How a MB shop can operate without basic hardware in stock is beyond me, but they claim they don't stock them.
So, does anyone know of a suitable altermative or source. I just had my IP off to replace the gasket and now every fuel line with a banjo fitting has a slight leak as a result of my attempt to reuse the seals. I placed an order with the dealer for my immediate needs, but I would like to have an assortment on hand for futue needs.
