Housing O-Ring Advice

I have a S&S DX-30/60 that has sat on a shelf for 5 years. I have ordered new o-rings for the housing, sync cord, and strobes. How concerned should I be about the o-rings for all the controls? Does anyone know if S&S makes a complete housing set?

Thanks,

Doug

Personally i'd get it serviced by S&S first. Ya never know, perhaps some salt got caught up in one of the controls and you could have 5 years of corrosion somewhere in there.

If you feel happy to take the controls apart yourself I would remove all the old O-rings, take them to an O-ring/seal supplier and they will be able to match them for you. Size and rubber hardness.

Thanks to Devon at Pacific Housing for spending time on the phone with me and getting me the info I needed.

Could you please share what you have learned.

Thanks

I learned that my housing uses metric sized o-rings, and that I can disassemble my housing without any special tools. I am expecting my 400 piece o-ring kit in the mail tomorrow and will begin the process of changing them one by one.

Thanks Gettiwet...got to be looking forward to that job!

Are you getting dedicated o-rings or will try for fit? I have been wanting to service and replace the o-rings myself but getting the size and fit has always been the obstacle. Thx.

I ordered a metric O-ring set off Ebay. I didnt buy the most expensive but I also didn't buy the cheapest.
