Kelly,
I'm going by the list of sizes provided (by the other list) which have been amended a few times - it's hard to keep track. Creavy also provided measurements which are wrong!!
OK I ordered for the outer coolant "O" ring, .093 cross section ( perfect)
11.230" ID ( which is smaller than the original measurement of 11.340")this still just a tad big in diameter. I asked Creavey to give me an indication of the size under that diameter. A size under, may in fact, be too small - will have to wait and see.
I also ordered for the inner coolant "O" ring, .093 ( they should have been .098, I discovered in earlier e-mails) and yes, they were a bit sloppy in the groove, .098 would have been much better. The diameter I have recorded here (and which I ordered) is 9.111" ID - way too big!
How does that compare to your information.
I'm in the process of checking ( as best I can) the diameters from the housings.
I will also provide photos of the "O" rings in a new housing. If we can get the right sizes they are an extremely good "O" ring.
I have checked the cross section of the oil "O" rings which are .118 x 4.330" and .093 x 4.680"- but have not checked the diameter of either.
I figure if we can get a housing and some standard "O" rings to Creavey, we stand a better chance of getting they exactly right as they would have physical things to check against - should have thought of this sooner - but I was trusting you guys over there to have got it right by now.

George,
All the O-rings (oil seal and side housing) or just the side housing ?? Can you
give us the I.D. and cross section of the inner and outer coolent O-rings that
you received.......I know that some on this list have received and are using the
correct 0-rings !!

OK! I just got my TES "O" rings - they look beautiful, but don't fit - bugger!!
So the sizes provided by everyone are incorrect.
Creavey Seal Coy. is in Olyphant PA
is anyone near there that can drop them an old damaged housing, so they can trial fit the correct size "O' rings.
