Chuffed about O rings, a tip for uk membersToday i went into a shop on the high street, which also trades on internet, called maplin. Many may not have heard of it as it deals mainly in electronics and electronic components. They were selling as a regular item a plastic box with internal dividers with a healthy supply of small O rings, ideal sizes for us. The box alone was worth the 2.99 i paid. Maplins is the old Tandy which was i thing a sister to Radio Shack in the US so Maybe they have similar. Im well chuffed it was a good buy I bought 2 boxs. |

thats them, I actually went to look at the box of springs which i also got but to be honest not to many i will use in the current form they are a bit big for what i wanted, will try reforming some of them but not sure about retempering them. |
