Front strut Oring
Hello all, I’m having trouble finding the size of the Oring that goes behind the spacer ring on the front strut spindle. The size the parts manual call out I believe is wrong. The diameter parts manual call out is 25.2mm. The diameter of the spindle is 39mm. Hopefully someone has replaced the Oring and knows the correct size. Thanks I should have mentioned my car is a 69E.

That is the part, it just needs to be stretched.

Oring
A 15mm stretch is a lot for a thin Oring! Also what is the purpose for the Oring?

Maybe there isn't a thin enough oring at ~39mm, so they speced a smaller to be stretched.
But it is the right part and its there to keep moisture from getting in there.
