| O-rings for G-made shocks?
Well, I finally need some O-rings for my G-made Zero shocks and am not having any luck finding stock replacements. Am I too computer illiterate? Are their other brands of O-rings that will work? I know, I should tear them apart and measure them myself, but I'm trying to decrease downtime and figure surely someone else has run into this. For the record, these shocks held oil very well for the first year. Then I accidentally caused the shock body to bind against the chassis, which sideloaded the seals, and now they don't seal. The shafts still look very good though. Thanks for any help or suggestions. |

Machine shops often carry hundreds of o-rings for 5 cents each. You have to take yours in to match the size (take the shock cap as well, sometimes o-rings swell with age) but you should be back ready to re-assemble right away.
