Beer bottles

Not sure whether to post here or on old fashioned money saving?
Please move if necessary
I brew beer at home. I have a lot of 2 litre brown beer bottles. I believe they originally held cider. They have screw tops, but not like lemonade or other soft drink bottles. The tops actually have a screw down shape. They also have a rubber ring to make them air tight. Over time these perish. I am having difficulty replacing these. No one seems to stock them any more
Can anyone tell me where I might get more or if a substitute is available. The rings are about 2 cms across and 0.5 cms deep.
Thanks very much :beer:

Googled and came up with this:
http://www.hopshopuk.com/products/view/263/beer-making/equipment/caps-and-cappers/internal-screw-stopper-new-style-spare-washers
No measurements/pics but the supplier might be worth a call.0 -
Looks good to me:TI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -
Thanks Chunks
Its worth a go. Or there will be a few bottles being sent to the glass recycling

No worries. If you cant find the seals you might also see if there are any collectors out there for the bottles (as is); might be worth something towards the replacements......0

I suspect that the rubber seals could be replaced by easily available and less perishable 'O' rings.0

I think on that type of bottle the flat seal sits on a taper both on the stopper and the bottle so may not work, but not expensive to try, ebay offers them in all sizes.
I bet you can find flat 1's in many sizes on there too but never checked.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
