If it is circular, or was originally, then you can buy all you want of them at any bearing supply house as those places generally also stock O-rings. I doubt if anyone could tell the difference other than the fact that a real O- ring would be better finished: Notice that the one in your photo has a LOT of mold flash, which would be unacceptable in an O-ring. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
