• Gold-plated O-rings? [15 GBP for carriage?]

    From Louis Ohland@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 11 08:23:10 2022
    I've been preparing for another fun-filled year of cutting invasives
    [Bush Honeysuckle and Buckthorn] and using a hand sprayer to gleefully
    paint the stump with herbicide.

    My Birchmeier uses what turns out to be British BS1806 #617/ Italian
    OR123 o-rings [17.86x2.62 / 70 Shore], common on the continent, but not
    so in the States.

    Plenty of sites with charts, but not so many with stock. Lots of RFQ,
    Inquiry, Contact Us... These are _O-rings_, not medical gear for heart transplants...

    Found some listed by George Lodge out of Yorkshire, 3 GBP for a ten pack
    [keep me going for 20 years], but 15 GBP to get them here. What is this?
    Pop them into the Royal Post in a envelope and toss them in the mail.

    I'd rather feel the Bern and get British sourced O-rings for a British
    Standard application, but the carriage seems dis-proportionate to the size/weight of the goods.
