I got my 'O' rings from Yamiya ..... Maybe Gerben in Holland  might sell them separately. If I get a chance I will try to measure my Yamiya ones and identify the size. Unless Trigger knows already !

Whoops on the carbs..  If the plastic floats are OK you should get reasonable money for them. Or do what I do with DK .... if there is obvious damage inside, have a moan to the seller about float-post breakages rendering them useless. I met him at DS's Museum launch ..seemed like a reasonable guy with a reputation to keep.  The spares guy at DK told me their remit from the boss was 'on all accounts do NOT  upset Mr eBay'

O rings ordered from Trigger, along with new discs for the carb tops.

Looks like yours are broken too, Rich, but at the other end. With some drilling out of pins I could've made a good set with those, but if I've bought a whole set now I'll go with those for now. Thanks for looking.

Drill what pins out ? NO drilling to get any part of the rail apart.

According to eBay, it's too late to cancel my order, although the parts have not been marked as shipped yet.

Try contacting the seller and see if he can do anything for you.
If he is as helpful as others have suggested and hasn't actually sent the parts yet he should be able to cancel.

The parts are still marked as unsent, I have asked if I could cancel as I don't actually need the carbs, and told him to deduct any fees incurred and accept my apologies.

Rich, I'll send you a pm.

ETA: Roger says no problem to cancel he's been away & couldn't respond to my queries. Harder than he thinks as eBay only lets you cancel for 30 mins.
