Default Beringer o-ring sizes
Has anyone found a source for Beringer wheel o-rings? The "official" ones are $15 each. McMaster has similar sizes for $7 for 5.

Just curious if anyone has used off-brand ones and what has worked.

Which o'rings are you loking for? I'd be careful--remember these are metric sized components from France. We have the Beringer part numbers for the calipers, but nothing on the masters.

Looking at the wheel half o-rings. Looks like they are 2mm by 118mm. I ordered some from McMaster and will report back on if they work.

I'm usually totally ok with paying extra to get the "official" part for aviation things, but this one for some reason got me going

Just as a follow up ---report back from Beringer that the master cylinders are not field repairable.
