Hello lighting friends.
I'm doing my best to revive a beautiful vintage lighter (the body has a rough diamond on a rock and that's sealed in acrylic), the gas would leak out (dangerous coz' there'll be flame around your hand) the valve where the length of the flame is adjusted coz' the O' ring's old (I even put food grade silicon grease used in lavatories). Upon measuring with a caliper, this is the current dimension of the O' ring (the O' ring is old, the original size may have become smaller or larger. OD = outside diameter, ID = inside diameter, CS = cross section):
OD: 4.92mm
ID: 3.5mm
CS: 0.75mm
O' ring height: 0.76mm
What could be the real dimensions when it was new? And where can I buy a compatible O' ring?
I came across a seller who sells these sizes, I wonder if one is compatible:
3 x 0.8mm 30Pcs
2.8 x 0.6mm 30Pcs
4 x 1mm 30Pcs
4.5 x 1.5mm 30Pcs
4 x 1.5mm 30Pcs
4.5 x 1mm 30Pcs
Their priced between US$2.33 to US$2.56
Thank you, God bless, Rev. 21:4
