NB O-Rings

A ruler to decide between 1.48mm and 1.52mm thickness? It was hard enough to work out the 8.5mm bore! Still not ordered as I've been busy with work.

I wouldn't have thought that it would make that much difference - a coffee maker is not a precision piece of equipment and rubber 'O' rings are flexible anyway. 8.5 is halfway between 8 and 9mm and is easily discernible to the naked eye. My steel rule is graduated in half millimeters.

Would this be of help? It actually lists the sizes which could be helpful - and loads left over for the boat...

My £9.99 digital vernier has to be near the top of my most used tools. Mine came from (now defunct) NETTO, but they regularly come up at ALDI/LIDL.

(the beautiful mechanical micrometer ... must be over 80yrs old and imperial of course ... seldom comes out of it's case; now seems such a palaver in comparison).

Hadn't thought of that, thanks Vic I'll see if I can find one.

Ditto, but my micrometer is perhaps only 40 years old.

I bought this one on Amazon. In fact I bought two, one for home and one for the boat.
