Where to get o-rings

Voodoomelon

Hi guys.
I need to get a single o-ring for a lower radiator hose sensor, the exact size I need is this one:

http://www.homedepot.com/p/DANCO-31-O-Rings-10-Pack-96745/100258186

But they're only available in the US. I've hunted around the UK and Irish sites with no luck (converting imperial to metric produces little either).

Rough size is 14mm OD, 8mm ID and 3.1mm cross section.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Came across them alright, looks like trade only though, not sure?

Have you tried your local motor factors? They might have a stock of different sizes.

They sell to public.

Only discovered the seal leak this evening, plan is to shop around tomorrow. I have boxes of o-rings of all varieties, but not the one I need!

Most engineering/hydraulics firms would have o rings too.

Thanks, I fired off Abbey an email too.

Halfords?

Usually good for those type of things. I have the same box in the garage (actually have a couple of different sizes). I'll check tomorrow to see if they are the same size.

If its a thread in sensor ptfe tape would suffice and a better long term solution.

There's one in the pack that's close, but not close enough.

I thought of using PTFE tape, but it's not a thread in sensor, the o-ring itself has shrunk by so much, about half a millimeter in overall diameter.

Aldi were doing a box with multiple sizes - I picked one up for half nothing in there bargain bin a while ago

Just ordered from Abbey seals, they matched the Danco one in the first post.
Should be delivered tomorrow, €2.40 each, thanks for the suggestions.

Beats buying a new sensor for €40.

Too late alright, but just in case...
