With dimensions the O-Ring size can be found....but if you have the dimensions, you can get it yourself (obvious...)

Dave will get back with you...patience is a virtue.
Too many things going on to bother listing them.

Now that you know the oring size, i.e. 007 you may be able to find it at a NAPA store or local hydraulic shop. Just make sure it is Viton.
