Having, hopefully, fixed my shower unit using O-rings I already had, where would I have had to go to get an O-ring of a specific size and thickness?
O-rings

Lidaldi when they have their kits of metric or imperial O rings in stock.
If you just want one or two, I've had Plumb Center trade counter just give them to me.
Also ebay, TS, SF? But these sets often only have one chord diameter, so that while you can find the right "OD", sometimes the ring itself isn't quite thick enough.
The lidaldi "Workzone" sets have 1.8, 2.65 and 3.55 mm and 1/16, 3/32 ans 1/8" cord diameters. So that's a choice of six cords across both sets, the actual ring diameter is probably less critical.
Ah, right; I must look out for them, very useful to know.
Google O ring supplier. There are several who stock a vast range.
However, if it's like my Aqualisa, new O rings didn't fix the dripping. ;-) Had to buy a new cartridge at considerable cost.
