Quite a few swivel mixer spouts have D rings in them instead of O rings, allways a nuisance to replace. If you know the tap manufacturers you could try them for replacements.Norn Iron Club member No 3530

You might be better off taking it to an engineering suppliers. We have one in my town and they sell all kinds of O Rings in all kinds of sizes.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0
