    I needed to replace the badly worn and cracked washer on my Enders 9060D and remembered Baja mentioning Harbor Freight. So I googled it up and checked out their store location. Lo and behold, they just opened up one close by last February. They had on sale the viton o-ring kit for around $12 :thumbup: for 180 pieces of varying sizes. I had time yesterday so I headed up there and bought one together with a tapered drill bit for a project of mine.

    And since Memorial Day is around the corner, I got a coupon for some really good 1-day only deals

    Let see how the china made viton will hold up in time 8-[ in my Enders.

    Great price Ron, I would think they should hold up well, let us know how well they work.

    They hold up very well. I have the viton and the nitrile. No swelling. They work well and they are cheap! I have been using them on stoves that use pump and filler cap all-in-one, such as on old KampKooks and Enders 9061s. Have had no troubles with them...yet. No sign of trouble so far.

    I agree with Sam 100% on this. I have had no problems with these in the year I have been using them. The orings are great for rebuilding MSR pumps which I just did a yellow pump.

    The check out lady at HF gave it to me when I bought the o-ring kit.

    I bought the same o-ring kit about a year ago and have used the Viton in about 10 of my stoves and lanterns both gas and kero with great success. No signs of any issues at all.

    They have a weekly flyer with a coupon in it. One of their nitrile o-rings swells up on the cap on my old 8R though. Defective or the heat, not sure. They work on the rest of my caps with no issues.
