I have a Mitre Mite VN2+1 that needs new o-rings (the ones located inside the air control valves). It's a rubber ring 1/2 inch in outside diameter, with a 1/4 inch "donut hole" opening inside. The rubber circle is made with a 1/8 inch circle at one level, then drops down, or "intents" about 1/16 inch to a lower interior ring which is also 1/8 inch circle.
I had this problem a few years back and the only way I could get the right rings was to buy the whole air-control valve from AMP - just to get the rings!!! I spend alot of money for what is probably a 3 cent part.
AMP didn't have just the rings and didn't know where to get them; they could only give me the manufacturers phone number in Europe. I called and talked to some of the company's employees, but it all came to a dead end.
It's frustrating - I've tried Graingers, local hardware stores, everywhere - and heck, I'm in Detroit auto country.
Have any of you been successful in finding an o-ring to fit? Let me know if you have, or I'll just have to buy the whole dang valve from AMP.
Too bad AMP can't help (I hope it's not just because they want to sell me the whole valve).
Thanks for any help you can give me!
