O-ring for 9x50 finderscope

[aaron308]

The O-ring on my Skywatcher 9x50 finder has finally broken, so I'm trying to source a replacement as the rubber-band I've been using hasn't been overly brilliant. Does anyone either have or know where to get a replacement?

Tried Bunnings or something equivalent?

Repco might give you one if your nice, any auto trans specalist will have one or can make one , any Hydraulics specalist. Just take your old one if you have it or take all the bits with you.

Hi Aaron

I used to work part-time for these guys back in the mid 80's when I was at uni - shivers that's a while ago now! They had 'O' -rings in all sorts of sizes. I know because I had to unpack-sort and pack them for orders all over the country.

The manager's name was Hayden - but I suspect that he would have retired by now and the company has changed names. Anyway enough of my strolling down memory lane here are the details and hopefully they'll have what you're after.

Thanks for all your suggestions; I think I've managed to get my hands on one from an auto store that seems to fit reasonably well.
