Kelly/George,
I understand your
frustration. I went through a similar exercise when ordering o-rings for
my 3-rotor. The guy at Creavy (Jerry Chrysler I think was his name) was
great to work with. He’s a rotor-head from what I hear. What I
finally did to verify the correct length was to take a piece of 12 ga. romex
and strip the insulation off the wire. Lay the bare wire in the groove
and shape it so it stays in the groove all the way around to where it makes a
complete circle. Then cut it, recheck it, remove it, straighten and
measure the length. It came out within about .020 from what the
calculations indicated. Also, be careful that you’re speaking the same
language as the Creavy guys. In other words, be sure that you’re giving
the diameter measured from the CL of the o-ring and not the outside or
inside. Everyone needs to be on the same sheet here to get it
right.
I’ll dig through my
receipts tonight and see if I can find my Creavy receipt. It has the
final correct measurements on it.

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.
