Have you tried google serching for O-ring distributors, or ask your LDS where they get their O-rings.
Might even try like Ikelite or another camera company just to see where you can get that part

I get a lot of my O rings at the local NAPA store.

This may be a long shot, however you might try your local pool supply store. They should have lots of different size o-rings that may work for you.

If not you could always look for an online parts supply store, Home Depot, any plumbers supply store, etc.

you guys are great- thanks for the advice- I was really lost on where to look.
I'll post up pics when I'm done (assuming it works of course)

Living in the midwest the first idea that comes to mind is a farm supply store or a Cat dealer, I know both of those places sell some pretty large O rings. Don't know if the suggestion is worth much but if you strike out at the other places mentioned, it might be worth a google.

You can try hydraulic supply houses too. They tend to have stock on all sorts of O-rings, and if they don't, they'll be able to recommend you to someone locally who does.

www.air-oil.com seems to be able to supply just about any size for a very good price, but the shipping/handling is $7 or so which makes it expensive for small orders, though cheaper than driving around checking out every tractor, bearing and pool shop.

Email me directly I sell O-rings for a living. I can probably come up with what you need. I need the inside diameter and the outside diameter of the O-ring you are looking for. A 6"x6-1/2" O-Ring is about $1.00. If you want to find one locally the correct O-ring part number is 568-437.
