Default Falconworks FW65 seal kit's Alternative

Just curious is there a local supply available for Falconworks FW65 seal kit's alternative?

It's just C-clips and O-rings, right?

The C-clips could probably be found locally, but the seals are a square cut, double-lipped o-ring (from memory of replacing them) which would be hard to come by locally, I would imagine.

I just ordered the seals. It's cheaper to get the SVS elsewhere. I've only been waiting a few days. I'm not worried. I'm just impatient.

No one else makes a replacement o-ring that why they are so expensive, Falcon Works designed and has these made for them.

I wish I had the time or my old company that I used to work for. I had dozens of prototype shops who are capable of producing small volume any thing plastic, rubber, circuit boards you name it. I don't care how rare this is O-Ring should not be $40 buck! Give me a break.

You are right we have very little choice when you want just one or two pieces.....
