Chain Tensioner O-ring

So I'm about to be at the step of the rebuild process where I have to install the chain tensioners, and I'm realizing I forgot to follow up on the small o-ring on the tensioners. The engine is a 1980 3.0, with updated tensioners installed within the last couple of years. I couldn't find the o-ring on this site anywhere but in the expensive tensioner rebuild kit. The old ones are still on the tensioners. Does anyone know where I can find this o-ring other than in the tensioner rebuild kit, or can it be safely reused, considering it's not too old? Apologies if that's a silly question.

Do you mean the through the cover O-ring for the hydraulic tensioner?

The O-ring won't show up in the catalog because the 1980 3.0 didn't come with them, it came with mechanical tensioners.

Part numbers are 999-701-690-40-M17 or 999-701-690-40-OEM

That's the one! Thanks for your help.
