Marc,
They are available from McMaster-Carr in bags of 60 for $13 (p/n
94115K030).  They are 1/16" diameter x 1.625" id.  The drawing on the
"other site" shows the id of the groove to be 1.663, so these were the
closest, and seem to be a perfect fit.

While installing my cooling system, I've nicked my share of these
things, only to discover a leak after filling the system.  So, you need
to be very careful when sliding the sleeves over the o-rings.  I
recommend you go ahead and order a bag and carry a few spares with you
for those unplanned field repairs.  Sure would be a bummer to be ready
to go flying, except that you have a leaky o-ring and no spares.

I too could use a few of those. Care to get unload a few more?
