Same here!
Ordered £2 worth, and received 40 of them!
And tips on storing them so they won't perish in the little paper envelope?
Would putting them in a sealed zip-loc bag, in a dark draw be the best option?

T'was I who posted the ebay link. I keep my O ring stocks in 50grm tobacco tins. No signs of deterioration over 20 years plus. So any cool, dark and airtight location should be similar. Mine have a whitish powdery coating from new so a dusting of chalk,talc,baby powder etc might help too.

care to share the ebay link plse?
Yes - I've googled here (for what it's worth) and on ebay but nada coming up ;>)
cheers Jim K
Try "hozelock o rings" in an ebay search.
E.g.
I think the original Ebay link was to item 200345021257. It looks like you need go for the multibuy option to get 40 for the price of 2 at £1.98, but check the ordering details at the bottom of the page.
That's the one I ordered - just order 2 and you will get 40 :-)
Toby...
ah yes - erm honest I put that in earlier and got no results - could be my typing...ooopppsss
Cheers Jim K
Yep, I ordered 2 and got 40 following the link. Arrived < 2 days after ordering and fitted two yesterday. :-) Thanks for the tip/ link.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Jim K saying something like:
The seller is e-crofting
Which for Hozelock will probably be about 2 weeks...

Remember when superglue came out? The ads used to feature a gymnast sticking the ends of a rubber extrusion together and then swinging on the loop made. At the time there were 'o'-ring kits, with lengths of different thicknesses of rubber that you just cut to size and looped with the superglue. This was handier than having to keep buying boxes of assorted rings, most of which you never needed (top of my list were thin rings that actually fitted inside the valve guides of my Ducati, and didn't last v long...). Wonder if you can still just buy the rubber and make them yourself? (not Ducatis: they were made out of other stuff)

Yep, eBay
Otherwise depending upon dia

Thanks, just remembered I was looking for one the other day and gave up. Al
Ah, still around then: but that 'kit' looks rather OTT on price! Didn't know what to call the rubber: 'cord' doesn't sound right either. As for the 'cord' on it's own, we'd have to take care it wasn't the foamy stuff, but well found, and much more sensibly priced.
