Thinking about putting together a list of replacement o ring sizes by make, model, etc.

Example: Foursevens, Quark AA - (o ring size by inside diameter and cross section).

I thought it could both save time and help those that do not have a micrometer.

Thoughts?
 
one alternative is buying an O ring selection from NAPA, they have clear boxes with about 20 various size O rings, they have "kits" with nitrile, rubber and neoprene rings that are acid, petrol and other solvent resistant materials.
 
This thread would be most helpful since I'm sure that people just getting into the flashlight universe would love to have a reference point so they can maintain the seals in their lights.
 
Imho, and I don't mean to be confrontational, planned obsolescence. Never have I ever used a silicon etc. o ring to the point of replacement. Often these materials are invincible. Can't imagine (based on my own personal use) an o ring being outlasted by the emitter itself.
