#1 seat slide o-rings

Post by ysmalkie » Sun Feb 28, 2021 10:12 pm

I need to assemble my seat slides - they use rubber o-rings for rollers.
Has anyone figured out the correct size/type?

They look like they have a crossection of 4.7mm (3/16") and inner diameter of 7.9mm (5/16")

Hi,
I used some hard tyres from a model car (dinky I think) they have stood the test of 6 years with no problems. I was careful to keep grease off them.
