O-Ring Problem Solved!

Posted on February 1, 2013 by mwflyer

HIGHLAND, ILL. – “The temptation is always there to re-use things like O-rings, and the result is too-often a leaky seal,” says Wicks Aircraft Supply president Scott Wick. Now aircraft homebuilders can save both time and money by ordering a Wicks Home Builders (O-ring) Kit (HMBK-1). The kit includes 382 O-rings in each size, made of a 70 durometer nitrile polymer and sized from 006 to 327. The kit is available for $32.19 by calling Wicks at 1-800-221-9425 (www.wicksaircraft.com).
